Actor Jamie Foxx remains hospitalized in Georgia a week after suffering a mystery “medical complication.”
The Oscar winner experienced the issue last Tuesday but wasn’t taken to the hospital in an emergency vehicle and was not on set at the time of the incident.
Foxx, 55, is currently filming Netflix’s comedy “Back in Action” in Atlanta with Cameron Diaz, Glenn Close and Kyle Chandler. The production resumed later last week with a stunt double and photo double standing in for Foxx. Multiple reports state that the movie is scheduled to wrap this week, but it’s unknown if Foxx will return to shoot any more scenes.
While Foxx’s family hasn’t said what caused the health scare, he is reportedly still undergoing testing to “figure out what exactly happened,” though his condition is reportedly improving. According to Entertainment Tonight, Foxx “is doing OK, thankfully” and has “been surrounded by his family.”
“We wanted to share that my father, Jamie Foxx, experienced a medical complication yesterday,” Corinne Foxx, the actor’s daughter, wrote in a statement posted to Instagram last Wednesday.
“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 statement continued. “The family asks for privacy during this time.”
“Back in Action” is Diaz’s first film since 2014′s “Annie,” which also starred Foxx. The two also appeared together in 1999′s “Any Given Sunday.”
