London, April 7 : Actor Jamie Foxx has lashed out at an American radio jockey for calling him gay.

RJ Howard Stern fuelled the rift when he launched into a lengthy rant at Foxx, in which he inferred the actor is a closeted homosexual.

"I'm not gay. A lot of people say that I'm gay and that doesn't bother me because I could eat a pizza in a male shower and not feel anything because I'm secure with myself," Foxx told thesun. co. uk

The actor then called the jockey "Coward Stern", and said: "And I'm not gonna take that, Coward Stern. I'm not gonna take that from a person who has chronic gonorrhoea." (IANS)
