Jamie reunited with his Django Unchained co-star, Leonardo DiCaprio to encourage donations at the Hand in Hand hurricane relief telethon. The event featured stars gathered simultaneously in New York, Los Angeles and Nashville to lend their voices to the cause, aiding those affected by Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma.

“We’re here to raise money, lift some spirits. When tough times hit, this is who we are. We’re compassionate, we’re unstoppable when we unite, when we join together hand in hand,” Foxx said.

The telethon raised over 44 million dollars! Donations are still being accepted by phone, text and online, so visit the Hand in Hand website.
