Jamie Foxx has been admitted to a physical rehabilitation center in Chicago after suffering a medical emergency last month. His daughter Corrine visited him at the facility over the weekend, along with Foxx’s good friend Dave Brown. The center specializes in treating severe conditions such as strokes, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, amputations, and cancer-related impairments. Foxx, 55, was reportedly filming the action-comedy Back In Action with Cameron Diaz in Atlanta, Georgia when he was first admitted to the hospital, but little is known about the situation.
While Foxx’s hospitalization has been shrouded in mystery, his daughter has provided periodic updates on his condition through social media. On May 12, Corrine confirmed that her father had been “out of the hospital for weeks” and was even “playing pickleball.” This contradicted previous reports that Foxx’s condition had not improved. However, the actor’s family has remained private about the specifics of his situation.
Foxx’s admission to the physical rehabilitation center suggests he has underlying health issues that require long-term, specialized care. The center’s expertise in stroke recovery, traumatic brain injury rehab, spinal cord injury rehab, and cancer-related impairment indicates that Foxx may be undergoing treatment for one of these conditions. The fact that his family has been hesitant to disclose his medical information may be due to the sensitive nature of his situation.
Foxx has received an outpouring of support from fans and fellow celebrities, with AJ McLean, Ludacris, and DJ Khaled sending messages of encouragement. Foxx’s family posted an update on his Instagram account that read, “Appreciate all the love!!! Feeling blessed,” though it’s unclear if Foxx himself made the post. The family has also asked for privacy during this time, underscoring the gravity of Foxx’s situation.
This recent health setback adds to an already eventful career for Foxx. The Oscar-winning actor has had a successful career in film and television, appearing in popular movies like Django Unchained, Ray, and Collateral. He has also been a prolific musician, releasing several albums and collaborating with other artists. Foxx has even hosted a game show, Beat Shazam, which his daughter Corrine co-produced and appeared on as a DJ. The show has been renewed for a fifth season, though it’s unclear if Foxx will be able to participate.
As Foxx continues his recovery at the rehabilitation center, fans hope for his full recovery and return to the spotlight. His versatile talent and unyielding spirit have made him one of Hollywood’s most beloved figures, and his contributions to entertainment will not be forgotten.
