"Colin Farrell is great, don't believe all of the hype," said Foxx when asked how his "Miami Vice" co-star was doing after checking out of rehab. The Oscar(r)-winner and musician added that Farrell's family spent a lot of time on the set of the film and there were no apparent signs of trouble. "He is such a family man, (his) sister...father and mom (were all) on set."

Foxx added that Farrell has been taking refuge in his Hollywood home, where he hopes the press will give him a break. "He's at my house kickin' it," he said.
