Jamie Foxx's Serious Health Situation Although the Foxx family has not revealed any specifics about Jamie's condition, sources with "direct knowledge" of the matter informed TMZ that the actor was admitted to the hospital on Tuesday morning.

Jamie Foxx's Upcoming Film While Jamie is on the road to recovery, his family has not indicated when he will be discharged from the hospital to resume filming.
The Django Unchained star is currently working on his new movie Back in Action, which marks Cameron Diaz's return to acting.
The Daily Mail reported that Foxx played a role in bringing Diaz back to the big screen for the film.
A source told People, "When this project came along, and she was pursued by Jamie Foxx, whom she has known and worked with for years, she decided to go for it."
However, after experiencing a series of setbacks on the set, some reports suggest Diaz may retire for good. The Sun reported that Jamie had a meltdown, firing four people, including an executive producer, two directors, and his driver. Additionally, the movie's production was halted due to a $40,000 scam, prompting an investigation.
