Jamie Foxx is an actor, comedian, and singer most well-known for his performances in Ray (2004), Django Unchained (2012), Soul (2020), and Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021). He’s also an incredible singer who received a Grammy for his performance of “Blame It” with T-Pain and serves as the host for Beat Shazam (2017-present) alongside his daughter, Corinne Foxx.

While in Atlanta, Georgia filming his new action comedy Back in Action, starring Foxx, Glenn Close, and Cameron Diaz, the actor experienced a medical emergency and was rushed to the hospital.

The next day, Corinne Foxx shared a statement from the Foxx Family: “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.”

While this is good news, the family hasn’t revealed any other information regarding Foxx’s condition. Fortunately, sources close to the family have provided positive, albeit vague, updates.
