Jamie Foxx ‘steadily improving’ after mysterious medical complication

Jamie Foxx is reportedly on the mend after suffering a medical complication.

The “Ray” actor is “steadily improving” a source told People on Friday.

A separate source also told the outlet that production on “Back In Action” — the movie Foxx is currently filming — was “shut down” on Wednesday following his health scare.

However, photos showed filming resuming the following day with a stand-in being used for the 55-year-old Oscar winner.

Foxx’s rep didn’t immediately return Pvnew’s request for comment.

Fans first learned of the “Day Shift” actor’s condition after his daughter and “Beat Shazam” co-host Corinne Foxx revealed that her dad was in “recovery” following the medical scare.

Corinne, 29, took to Instagram Wednesday night to share a message “from the Foxx family.”

“We wanted to share that, my father, Jamie Foxx, experienced a medical complication yesterday,” the statement began.

“Luckily, due to quick action and great care, he is already on his way to recovery.”

The family’s message continued, “We know how beloved he is and appreciate your prayers. The family asks for privacy during this time.”

Sources with “direct knowledge” of the situation further told TMZ that Jamie was taken to the hospital Tuesday morning in a “serious enough” condition that members of his family traveled to be by his side.

“He’s communicating now, and that’s good news,” one of the outlet’s insiders noted.

Everything we know about Jamie Foxx's hospitalization

When was Foxx hospitalized?

Jamie Foxx was hospitalized in Georgia on April 12 after suffering from a “medical complication,” according to a post on his daughter’s Instagram.

Foxx, now reportedly awake and alert, is still in the hospital nearly three weeks after the undisclosed “medical complication.” Doctors are still running tests to try to figure out what exactly happened.

Family and friends who are close to him are asking fans to pray for him.

What are his family and friends saying?

Corinne Foxx, Jamie’s daughter, 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,” in an Instagram story.

“Masked Singer” host Nick Cannon asked his fans to speak “words of affirmation” over Foxx as he continues to recover.

Martin Lawrence told the media that Foxx was “doing better” and called Foxx “one of the best that we got in Hollywood.”

Actress Kerry Washington posted an appreciation post on her Instagram of her and Foxx after hearing about his hospitalization.

What was Foxx working on before being rushed to the hospital?

Before going to the hospital, Foxx was working on the “Back in Action” movie with actress Cameron Diaz. While Foxx remains in the hospital, Diaz returned to the set to film scenes with Foxx’s body double.

“Beat Shazam,” the game show co-hosted by Foxx and his daughter Corinne, has started filming its new season and found another host to replace Fox, according to reports.

Corinne will not be in the new season as she will be staying by her father’s side at the hospital.

Meanwhile, NBA star LeBron James took to Twitter to show his support for Jamie.

“Sending my thoughts and prayers to the heavens above to my brother, Jamie Foxx!!!!” he tweeted.

“Get well and back to yourself SOonER THAN LATER! God willing.”

Jamie’s health scare came a few weeks after he returned to the set of “Back in Action” amid reports that he had a “meltdown” that allegedly caused co-star Cameron Diaz to want to quit acting again.

The two were photographed filming together again days later.
