‘There was a medical complication’: Jamie Foxx was taken to hospital unconscious from filming a movie with Cameron Diaz 04/13/2023, 14:05

The Hollywood actor stars in the action comedy Back in Action in Atlanta, Georgia. Jamie needed emergency medical attention after feeling unwell on set. 28-year-old Corinne Fox talked about the hospitalization of her star father, but the actress refused to state the reasons and the diagnosis.

“We wanted to share that my father, Jamie Foxx, had a medical complication yesterday. Fortunately, thanks to quick action and excellent care, he is on the road to recovery. We know how much he loves and appreciates your prayers. The family requests privacy during this time,” Corrine said in an official statement on behalf of the family.

Sources close to Fox described his health problems as very serious. So much so that he was unconscious and did not meet him for more than a day. In addition, the extent of the disaster is evidenced by the fact that members of Jamie’s family quickly flew to Atlanta and were next to him in a medical facility.

At the same time, an insider noted that the Django Unchained star is now back in touch. However, the filming of “Back in Action”, in which Jamie has his hands full with Cameron Diaz, had to be stopped. Doctors do not yet give predictions when the actor will be able to leave the clinic and return to work. “He’s getting in touch now, which is good news,” said a friend of the Oscar winner.

The film was Cameron’s long-awaited return to acting. However, representatives for the 50-year-old actress said she will be putting her career on hold again after this project as she has struggled to cope with the separation from husband Benji Madden and their three-year-old daughter Raddix.

Initially, a bad fate hung over the filming of the film. Fox suffered a “nervous breakdown” in March, which led to the firing of several people, including an executive producer, two directors and even the actor’s own driver. After that, the work had to be stopped due to police intervention. One of the team members was involved in a criminal scheme in which he extorted £33,000 from Jamie, according to the Daily Mail.

And the most dangerous moment came when a World War II bomb was discovered on set before filming a scene around London. The stars and crew members had to be evacuated and the location closed. Due to the delay in filming and the forced change of location, the creators of the tape suffered considerable damage.
