Over the weekend, Jamie Foxx was spotted strolling through Grafton Street, taking pictures with fans along the way.
But why was he here? Well, it turns out he was filming a gameshow.
He was here filming a new season of Beat Shazam.
The show is hosted by Jamie and his daughter Corinne, and it's already heading into its fifth season.
According to FOX's synopsis, it, 'pits teams of two against the clock and each other as they attempt to identify the biggest hit songs of all time.'
'In the end, the team with the most money banked will go against Shazam, the popular song identification app, for the chance to win up to $1 million.'
According to the Sunday World, the show is being made by the same Irish production company behind Name That Tune, Bigger Stage.
The supermodel of the world – and queen of branding – has now been reimagined as part of Fisher-Price’s Little People Collector range.
The set is now available to buy from amazon.com and amazon.co.uk.

Launched by Mattel (no, not Trixie) the set features RuPaul in a purple gown, inspired by the classic silhouette she’s worn over the years on Drag Race.
There’s also an out-of-drag RuPaul, in his signature Klein Epstein & Parker suit that he wears in the werkroom while giving one-to-ones to the queens.
The set is finished up with disco-inspired look, one of Ru’s favourite genres, which also includes a headband in a nod to the back cover of her book, Workin’ It!: RuPaul’s Guide to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Style.
Wednesday's edition of the ITV game show saw player Yvonne triumph over her two competitors Dai and Amna in the episode which Ben, the players and viewers at home all spotted was unusually difficult.
With the counters reluctant to fall from the machine, Ben could be heard describing the episode as "one of the toughest games [he's] ever seen" and a "heartbreaker".
Reluctant to take a chance on the "not kind" machine, Yvonne eventually collected £3,450 and chose to go home with her money.
However, a playback showed she would have walked away with the jackpot, had she continued.
Chiming in on Twitter, Tipping Point viewers also shared their thoughts on the tough episode and the hard-to-fall counters.
One viewer complained: "They've made the counters harder to drop on purpose."
Another frustrated fan commented: "Six counters in and none out. What witchery is this?"
Meanwhile, a third viewer joked: "Extra strength magnets today on Tipping Point."
Another quipped: "The toughest game."
"This is bloody painful," a final viewer concluded.
Speaking about her decision not to take the trade, Yvonne said: "I don't think [three counters will be enough].
"This machine has not been kind all day so I think I'm going to take the money please, Ben."
Ben replied: "It's a lovely amount of money.
"You know the show and you love the show so I'm sure you've watched someone at home get to this point.
"If ever the machine had one last twist in the tail, it was right there, Yvonne."

Take off? More like Take it All Off.
HOLLY Willoughby and Bradley Walsh’s presenting partnership has failed to land after their BBC1 Take Off show was quietly axed.
The pair starred on the wacky prime-time quiz, which saw audience members get the chance to win plane tickets to luxury holiday destinations, last summer.
The show was produced by Hungry Bear Media — owned by Holly’s husband Dan Baldwin — but was panned by viewers.
A source said: “Take Off was filmed before the pandemic when travel was much easier.
"Now, it’s more difficult with so many restrictions.It didn’t land with viewers who were grounded.
"However, Holly and Bradley loved working together and had amazing on-screen chemistry.”
Last summer, Bradley, 61, who fronts ITV quiz fave The Chase, admitted: “If I am brutally honest I do not know the rules of the game.
"I leave that to Holly —- she is the nuts and bolts of it all. Holly is brilliant at that stuff.”

I'm a Celebrity, Get me Where?
I'M A Celebrity IS returning to Australia this year, Ant and Dec have revealed.
For the past two years the ITV reality show has taken place at Wales' Gwrych Castle due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Speaking on Heart radio this morning, Ant confirmed the show is going back to its "spiritual home".
Ant told hosts Amanda Holden and Jamie Theakston: "The plan is we're going back to Australia. It's got to go back to hits spiritual home. Everyone wants to see a bit of sunshine at that time of year on the telly."
Back in December we revealed fed-up fans of the show were desperate for it to be back in Australia in 2022 — and would even prefer a year off than a return to Gwrych Castle in North Wales.
They thought the trials in the castle were easy and the latest series wasn’t up to much.
A Sun poll ahead of the final revealed only a quarter of viewers — 24 per cent — believed Gwrych Castle should play host for a third year.
Thirty-one per cent said producers should head somewhere other than the Grade I country house near Abergele.
A total of 41 per cent said the show should take a year off for the first time in the its 20-year history.
A source said: “The castle was a worthy venue for a year, but the viewers clearly want Australia or nothing.

You want love? Well.......
THE Love Island start date has been confirmed - and we don't have long to wait until a new bunch of hopefuls looking for love land in the famous villa.
We previously revealed when the ITV show would return and bosses today posted the date on its official Twitter account.
A message read: "Here's your first hot date of the summer #LoveIsland is back Monday 6th June on @itv2 and @itvhub!"
An insider told The Sun earlier this month: “Love Island is coming back with a bang and it will begin on the second full week in June.
“The schedules are being put together now and fans can expect a long, hot summer of fun from the villa from June 6.
“Filming for the promotional adverts is beginning in the next couple of weeks and the ads will start in May.
"This series is going to be the longest ever and it’s from a brand new location so it’s all very exciting.”
Love Island, which first started in June 2015, is still a massive hit and is the most popular show for 16 to 34-year-olds.
Host Laura Whitmore is back to present the new series, after signing a £500,000 deal last month.
Insiders told The Sun of her mega-money contract: There has been lots of speculation that Laura might be stepping down, or that other presenters were being lined up for the role.

Oh, and some news on Ant & Dec aka Tom & Jerry aka Yogi Bear and Boo-Boo aka.........I dunno.
ANT and Dec are set to land a £30million golden handcuffs deal to keep them with ITV for another three years.
Their current arrangement ends next year and the broadcaster is keen to ward off any bids from rivals, including streaming giants Netflix and Amazon.
Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly, both 46, remain a huge hit fronting I’m a Celeb, Britain’s Got Talent, Saturday Night Takeaway and their new hit game show Limitless Win.
A TV insider said of the £15million-each deal: “It would see them through to their 50th birthdays as two of the best paid stars on television.
"They both still seem to have the Midas touch when it comes to making programmes.
“Keeping them on board is a shrewd move for ITV, who view them as their two biggest stars — with no sign that’s going to change in the near future.
“Execs at the channel are also conscious of the fact that competition in TV is fiercer than ever and there are some big streamers with deep pockets waiting in the wings.”
The multi-Bafta winners are presenting the 15th series of BGT and are about to host two I’m a Celebs this year, including an All Stars edition.
Last night, the Geordie pair’s status as national treasures was confirmed as they helped kick off the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Celebrations at Windsor Castle in a star-studded ITV event.
ITV and Ant and Dec’s reps are set to hammer out a new deal in the coming months.
Right, that of course was things from across......the pond.

Can Derrick Henry show up at a funeral?
Noticeably missing. Aaron Rodgers did not attend Jordan Rodgers and JoJo Fletcher’s recent wedding, a source exclusively tells Us Weekly.
“There is still a family rift,” the insider says, noting that the brothers haven’t “reconciled” or “repaired their relationship.”
Us confirmed earlier this month that Jordan, 33, and Fletcher, 31, exchanged vows at Sunstone Winery in Santa Ynez, California, on Saturday, May 14.
“It’s a sad situation for the family and especially for Jordan who really does love his brother,” the source continues. “Aaron missed out on his big day and that’s something Jordan’s never going to forget. Jordan invited his entire family, including Aaron, even knowing he most likely wouldn’t attend since they’ve been distant for a long time now.”
Bachelor Nation and NFL fans were clued into the Rodgers’ family feud when Jordan competed on season 12 of The Bachelorette in 2016. When Fletcher arrived for his hometown date, the former Vanderbilt quarterback informed her that Aaron wouldn’t be joining them.
“I have a great relationship with my brother Luke. Me and Aaron don’t really have that much of a relationship,” Jordan said on the ABC show at the time. “It’s just kind of the way he’s chosen to do life and I’ve chosen to stay close with my family and my parents and my brother. … It’s not ideal and I love him and I can’t imagine what it’s like to be in his shoes and have the pressure he has, the demands from people that he has. Don’t have hard feelings against him, it’s just how things go right now.”
When asked about his remarks, Aaron told reporters that he wasn’t watching The Bachelorette. “[It’s] a little inappropriate [for Jordan] to talk publicly about some family matters, so I’m just … I’m not going to speak on those things,” he said. “But I wish him well in the competition.”
After Jordan and Fletcher got engaged on the 2016 finale, he told The Hollywood Reporter that he hoped the Green Bay Packers quarterback would be in attendance.
“There’s no scenario in which I wouldn’t want my entire family at a wedding,” he said at the time. “That’s what our whole family wants and hopes for and, at some point, it’s going to be a good wedding. There’s going to be a lot of people there.”
Fletcher, for her part, hasn’t said much about the situation in recent years. She did, however, tell Us in 2017: “I love Jordan, I love his family and I really think those topics now should be discussed within the family. So I’ve really tried to respect that. But he has a wonderful family. They love us so much and they’ve been so supportive through everything. So, I mean, I love his family.”
More recently, Aaron and Jordan’s dad, Ed Rodgers, made a rare comment about the football star as Aaron made headlines for his controversial opinion on the coronavirus vaccine.
“The main thing [is] I just support him,” Ed told USA Today, adding that “things are progressing” in their relationship. “I’m proud of him. I trust his judgment and decisions. I think that’s what I would’ve done.”
Will the Murderhawk finally get a title back to AEW? Will the Gunshow retain? Or...........will there be a surprise? Get the cracker jack boxes and the Mountain Dew Purple Thunder soda ready, it'll be a dance floor to burn for the ages locally on CW30 and elsewhere on Youtube Live.
When asked about Fox's game show lineup, Seth McFarlane, actor, creator, singer and the man behind Peter Griffin said this:
“I want to say, it is an absolute thrill to not be on the Fox network,” the star told the crowd at the event. “We never really belonged there. And they’ve curated a specific brand now. Between Beat Shazam, Name That Tune and Don’t Forget the Lyrics!, Fox has really captured the demo of people who have no idea what song they’re listening to.” After pausing for laughter, he quipped, “It’s because they’re not here.”
Let the people rejoice! It's..................
