Jamie Foxx Hospitalized after Medical Complication

Hollywood star Jamie Foxx has been hospitalized in Atlanta following a “medical complication”, his family announced Wednesday.

“We wanted to share that my father Jamie Foxx experienced a medical complication yesterday,” Foxx’s daughter, Corinne Foxx, wrote on Instagram.

She added, “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 family asks for privacy during this time.”

The nature of the medical complication was not disclosed.

According to TMZ, it happened on Tuesday morning local time, which is when Foxx was first “taken to the hospital.”

Foxx was in Atlanta filming an upcoming Netflix comedy movie with Cameron Diaz, “Back in Action”. Directed by “Horrible Bosses” helmer Seth Gordon, it also stars Glenn Close, “Fleabag” priest Andrew Scott and comedian Jamie Demetriou.

Diaz came “out of retirement” for the project, her first in almost a decade.

Last month, the movie wrapped production in the U.K. where among the stunts onlookers saw an explosion shot on the River Thames.
