During the filming of the Netflix movie "Back in Action," which starred Jamie Foxx, Cameron Diaz, and Glenn Close, Foxx was unexpectedly hospitalized in mid-April. His daughter Corinne issued a statement on behalf of the family, requesting privacy and describing his illness as a "medical complication."
“From the Foxx Family: We wanted to share that, my father, Jamie Foxx, experienced a medical complication yesterday. Luckily, due to quick action and great care, he is already on his way to recovery. We know how beloved he is and appreciate your prayers. The family asks for privacy during this time. Much love, The Foxx Family,” Corinne wrote.
Since then, numerous fans and acquaintances have expressed their support for Jamie Foxx, but no one has been able to provide any updates regarding his diagnosis or prognosis. As a result, a body double was allegedly used in Foxx's place to complete the filming of "Back in Action."
