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.

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

Foxx was on the set of his upcoming movie with Cameron Diaz, “Back in Action,” one day prior to the medical issue.

While production was reportedly “shut down” on Wednesday in the wake of Foxx’s plight, his stunt double was photographed on set the following day as production started again in his absence.

Foxx’s family has yet to give an update on his condition, or give details about what happened, but a source told People over the weekend that he is “steadily improving.”

Meanwhile, many of his celebrity pals, including LeBron James and Viola Davis, have sent their well-wishes on social media.

Kerry Washington also honored her “movie huzbin” with a sweet message.

“A @iamjamiefoxx appreciation post,” she captioned a picture with her “Ray” co-star on Instagram Thursday. “Sending you all the love and prayers.”

Foxx’s health struggles come weeks after he returned to the “Back in Action” set following an alleged meltdown.

The incident, which reportedly led him to fire the film’s executive producer, two directors and his driver, also is said to have caused Diaz, 50, to quit acting again.
