Jamie Foxx claims he isn't good looking enough to play lead roles.The Oscar-winning actor - who is currently starring in the big screen remake of 80s TV series 'Miami Vice' with Colin Farrell - says he can not compete with Hollywood heartthrobs when it comes to sizzling on celluloid.He told GQ magazine: "People who do it great are people like Tom Cruise and Will Smith - they are built for that. I'm not. I'm more of a character guy." The 'Ray' star also insists he did not get into acting for fame - and just wants to be recognised for his talent.He said: "I learnt from Denzel Washington. He said, 'I don't want to be a celebrity, I want to be an actor.' As long as you can maintain that it's always great work."
