Jamie Foxx is apparently still undergoing medical care for an emergency that put him out of commission Tuesday.
In Atlanta shooting a Netflix action comedy called “Back in Action,” Foxx was hospitalized with a “medical complication” according to a social media post from his daughter Corinne Foxx.
The daughter posted, on behalf of the family:
Production on the film was halted, but, according to People magazine, restarted on Thursday, using a stand-in for Foxx.
“Back in Action,” also starring Cameron Diaz and Glenn Close, has been shooting in Atlanta since last month. According to CNN the film was “expected to wrap up next week.” But TMZ reported Friday that the film still has eight days left in its production schedule.
A talented singer and comedian, Foxx won an Oscar for his portrayal of Ray Charles in the 2004 bio-pic “Ray.”
Foxx and his daughter also host the Fox game show, “Beat Shazam,” in which three teams compete to identify a series of songs.
Fans posting positive prayers for Foxx online, have drawn attention to his singing ability, including this appearance on Jimmy Fallon’s show which featured Foxx doing an impression of Jennifer Hudson singing “On Top of Spaghetti.”
Followers are also recalling other offstage moments in Foxx’s life. Atlanta filmmaker Ricki Tyree posted a television news clip from the 2016 incident when Foxx pulled a man from a burning car in Hidden Valley California.
