I noted below that the classically trained pianist and Oscar-winning actor Jamie Foxx has been taking cello lessons from a member of the Los Angeles Philharmonic. According to this article in the Scottish Daily Record, Foxx has hit it off with his new teacher: "The guy who shows up to show me how to play the cello is nothing like what I expected. I thought it would be a stiff guy. But my guy is like a Ninja cellist."
