9. Second daughter, Zahra Savannah born 22 May 2004.

10. Enjoys a wide range of music such as Jay-Z, Red Hot Chili Peppers, DMX, Boy George, Elvis Costello, Eminem and Smashing Pumpkins.

11. In 1993, Paramount offered him the role of Lamont Sanford in a purposed film update of "Sanford and Son" (1972). He called the idea "insane" and, because of his affection for the late Redd Foxx, lobbied to have the production halted. It was.

12. Hosted the The 77th Annual Academy Awards (2005) (TV) on February 27, 2005, and, despite concerns over the content of his monologue, he mostly kept it clean.

13. Has the rare distinction of being in two movies that opened on the same day in the U.S. - The Longest Yard (2005) and Madagascar (2005) (May 27, 2005). Both of them stayed at the two top spots at the box office the following weeks, knocking down the last installment of the Star Wars Saga, Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005). Both became members of the 100 million dollar club.

14. Points to Eddie Murphy as his role model and inspiration for taking up comedy and acting.

17. Was good friends with Chris Farley.

18. During his monologue at the The 77th Annual Academy Awards (2005) (TV), he quipped, "If you want Russell Crowe, and all you can get is Colin Farrell, wait!" Coincidentally, Oliver Stone pursued Crowe for the title role of Alexander (2004), yet ended up casting Farrell in the part instead. The film turned out to be one of the most critically panned movies that year.

19. Was considered for the role of Huggy Bear in Starsky & Hutch (2004).
