Jamie Foxx's Close Ones Hopeful Yet Cautious Amid Actor's Prolonged Hospitalization: Insiders
Jamie Foxx's friends and family are maintaining optimism for the actor's full recovery while also bracing themselves for potential complications, as per sources close to RadarOnline.com.
Foxx has been in the hospital for four weeks following a medical emergency. A source stated, "Jamie's representatives are asserting that he's recovering and making progress as doctors continue to investigate the root of his issues — but his extended stay in the hospital suggests that his condition is far from stable."
Following an April 11 collapse, the Atlanta facility has been providing Foxx with constant care. His 29-year-old daughter, Corinne, initially reported that her father experienced a "medical complication," without disclosing any specifics.
As of May 9, the star of Ray has not made any public appearances. However, his Instagram posted a message saying, "Appreciate all the love!!!! Feeling blessed." The absence of an accompanying photo has raised concerns about the severity of his health problems. Furthermore, Nick Cannon replaced Foxx as the host of FOX's game show Beat Shazam!
Cannon expressed his worry for his friend, stating, "Man, I'm praying. I literally have been saying prayers out loud."
As previously reported by RadarOnline.com, insiders revealed that Foxx's condition was critical. "He was in a life-threatening situation for days and had to be resuscitated. He's fortunate to have survived!" a source said, emphasizing that emergency room doctors likely saved the actor's life.
"Jamie was lucky to receive the care he did," an insider shared. Another source mentioned that Foxx, known for his tireless work ethic, suffers from high blood pressure, which can lead to brain clots and strokes. One insider suggested that the actor's health crisis had been "brewing for a while."
Due to Foxx's precarious condition, producers of the film Back in Action chose to complete production without him. They utilized his body double to film his remaining scenes alongside co-star Cameron Diaz.
An insider asserted that Foxx's situation is much more severe than what his camp is admitting. "His friends and family are hoping for the best — but preparing for the worst!"
