Jamie Foxx in Recovery: Unrecognizable due to Medical Complications, Says Insider
Actor Jamie Foxx, who has been struggling with a mysterious 'medical complication' since last April, is slowly regaining his health, but it appears there's still a long road ahead.
According to an insider, Jamie Foxx isn't quite his old self yet due to his battle with health issues. No official details about his current condition have been disclosed, but it's been revealed that his recovery is progressing slowly amid ongoing health concerns. His friend, actor John Boyega, communicated to People that Foxx is receiving top-notch treatment and is working hard to recover as soon as possible, but he's not completely there yet.
Boyega also revealed that Foxx had finally picked up his calls, assuring that he's doing well. He emphasized their efforts to respect and protect Foxx's privacy as they eagerly await his return. Alongside this, he relayed a heartfelt message wishing him luck directly and expressed his willingness to wait until Foxx comes back, closing with a tender "Take your time, Jamie. Love you, mate."
While those close to Foxx remain tight-lipped about the exact cause of his hospitalization, his daughter, Corinne Foxx, revealed in April that Foxx suffered a medical complication while filming the movie 'Back in Action.' Subsequently, Foxx's team dismissed conspiracy theories that the condition was due to the COVID-19 vaccine. Boxing legend Mike Tyson suggested that Foxx had suffered a stroke, but this claim remains unconfirmed.
In early May, amidst swirling rumors of his critical condition, a post appeared on Foxx's Instagram account thanking everyone for their love and expressing a feeling of being blessed, which provided some reassurance to his fans. It was reported that Foxx is in rehabilitation at a clinic in Chicago that specializes in recovery from strokes, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and cancer.
Following this, reports surfaced about increasing concerns within Hollywood that the silence surrounding Foxx's condition could impact his future career. Page Six disclosed that his representatives aren't providing any new information at this time.
They further relayed the worries of people who grew up with Foxx saying that they've heard he's recovering quite well so far, but haven't witnessed it themselves. These insiders believe that those around him are afraid to speak about how sick he really is, which could potentially influence how he is perceived in Hollywood moving forward.
