Jamie Foxx was involved in an incident in which a racial slur was levelled at him while at a restaurant in Croatia.

Foxx was in Dubrovnik, where’s he’s filming the forthcoming reboot of Robin Hood, where he revealed the spat.

The actor posted video on his Instagram profile of two men being escorted from the restaurant, who he accused of being drunk, before doing a drunken impression of the pair to the camera.

The video has since been deleted, but Croatian police confirmed yesterday that two men were charged with disorderly conduct, who it’s alleged targeted ‘one of the guests on racial grounds’.

Total Croatia News reports that the men used the word ‘crncuga’, which is an offensive racial slur in Croatian.

According to other reports, the police added that they are investigating whether to pursue further charges against the men.

Despite the unpleasantness of the incident, Foxx said that he’d had his ‘mind blown’ by the beauty of the city, which is also used as the location for King’s Landing in ‘Game of Thrones’.

The movie, ‘Robin Hood: Origins’, finds Foxx playing the role of Little John to Taron Edgerton’s Robin.

Also on the bill are ‘Rogue One’ star Ben Mendelsohn as the Sheriff of Nottingham, Jamie Dornan as Will Scarlett, Tim Minchin as Friar Tuck, and Eve Hewson as Maid Marian.
