Acclaimed actor Jamie Foxx experienced a life-threatening medical crisis when he suffered a stroke on the set of his new film, sources revealed to The National ENQUIRER. The 55-year-old was reportedly moments away from disaster when doctors intervened to save his life.

Foxx was filming "Back in Action" alongside Cameron Diaz and Glenn Close in Atlanta when the incident occurred on April 11. An insider told The ENQUIRER, "Jamie suffered a very serious medical episode and needed immediate attention. It was touch and go for days with him, and he had to be revived — he is very lucky to be alive!"

Emergency room doctors in Atlanta are credited with saving Foxx's life. A source stated, "He’s very lucky he got the treatment he did." The actor's daughter, Corinne, 29, confirmed her father's medical emergency on social media, writing, "Luckily, due to quick action and great care, he is already on his way to recovery."

However, insiders claim that Foxx's situation was far more critical than his family initially let on. High blood pressure, which Foxx suffers from, can lead to clots in the brain and eventually strokes. A source explained, "Doctors believe this was a long time in coming, and really, if they hadn’t acted fast, Jamie might well have been a goner."

Some insiders believe that Foxx's close call may have actually saved his life, as stress from the film set could have contributed to his collapse. The "Collateral Damage" actor had reportedly experienced "an absolute meltdown" during the shoot in England, resulting in conflicts with crew members, the firing of two directors, and his personal driver's dismissal.

The tense environment on set even caused Cameron Diaz to reconsider her return to acting after a nine-year hiatus. One source shared, "Jamie has absolutely been troubled throughout the shoot. He wasn’t fun to be around — especially for Cameron. But now there seems to have been a good reason for it."

Resuscitated After Medical Crisis

Oscar-winning actor Jamie Foxx faced a life-threatening medical emergency that left him unresponsive before he was resuscitated, as reported by Radar Online.

On April 11, 2023, while filming "Back in Action," Foxx was hurried to an Atlanta hospital after becoming critically ill. A source connected to the situation disclosed, "Jamie suffered a serious medical episode and needed immediate attention. It was touch and go for days with him, and he had to be revived—he is very lucky to be alive!"

Foxx's stabilization was possible due to the care he received in the emergency room. However, the severity and suddenness of his health crisis nearly resulted in a tragedy. "He’s very lucky he got the treatment he did," another source mentioned.

Later, it was revealed that Foxx's hypertension was the cause of his health complications. An insider shared, "Jamie suffers from high blood pressure, which doctors say can cause clots in the brain leading to a stroke. Doctors believe this was a long time coming, and really, if they hadn’t acted fast, Jamie might well have been a goner."

Upon hearing about Foxx's illness, many offered prayers and well-wishes for his swift recovery, including fellow comedian Martin Lawrence. Speaking to EXTRA, Lawrence said, "I hear he’s doing better, from what I hear. My prayers go out for him every night, and I just wish the best for him. [He’s] one of the best that we got in Hollywood, not only one of the best entertainers but a good person."

On April 12, Corinne, Foxx's daughter, took to Instagram to update fans on her father's health. She wrote, "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."
