As a superstar of Hollywood, he maintains a luxurious lifestyle and has a humongous net worth of $100 million.
This multitalented Oscar-winning actor, musician and also comedian did not have a luxurious childhood. Jamie was born to parents Darrell Bishop and Louise Annette Talley Dixon in Terrell, Texas on December 13, 1967. Unfortunately, his parents separated soon after and they left behind their seven-month-old baby with his grandmother, Estelle Talley. She adopted and raised him with motherly care giving him a home which he lost at such a young age.
His grandma was Jamie’s biggest fan and supporter. Sadly the boy Jamie was unable to understand why his parents never tried to meet him again.
After 45 years of journey in search of his parents, Jamie tried to make peace with them in 2014. Reportedly, to reconcile with his mother, he moved her into his own home. But it seemed like these efforts of reconciliation was going fruitless in the case of his birth-dad.
In 2004, Jamie’s grandmother passed away. The day she left this world, Jamie lost the person who gave him unimaginable love and his numero uno supporter.

Reportedly, he is now with his girlfriend, Katie Holmes.
However, the fact that he still unmarried raises a lot of eyebrows.
The actor is a father to two daughters, Corinne Bishop (born in 1994) and Annalise (born in 2009). Corinne began her acting her career after the debut in Bal des Debutantes. It was released in November 2014 and has won Miss Golden Globe 2016. She also worked with her father in the second season of Beat Shazam on Fox Broadcasting Company in 2018.
