According to Mike Tyson, Jamie Foxx suffered a stroke after claiming to have suffered a mysterious health scare last month.
The actor, 55, was treated at a Chicago facility that specializes in treating adults with “serious complex conditions”, including recovery from stroke.
During an appearance on the Valuation podcast, ex-boxer Mike said of Jamie: “He’s not feeling well”. They said a stroke. I have no idea what happened to him.
Jamie, who was born Eric Bishop, was filming the action comedy Back In Action with Cameron Diaz in Atlanta, Georgia in April when he was admitted to hospital.
According to reports, Jamie’s health scare threw the shoot into chaosand Cameron, 51, filmed with stunt doubles in his absence.
Jamie’s daughter, Corinne, was among the actor’s visitors to the physical rehabilitation center over the weekend.
Corrine was pictured arriving at the facility, which is billed as the nation’s top rehab center specializing in ‘the most serious and complex conditions’.
He specializes in the treatment of serious illnesses such as strokes, head injuries and spinal cord injuries.
Her good friend Dave Brown was also seen visiting the establishment and spent time chatting with Corinne before going to visit the star.
On May 12, Corrine spoke out to share an update on her condition, insisting her dad had been “out of the hospital for weeks.”
Corinne confirmed in a statement via Instagram that her father is currently receiving “great care” and “is already on the mend.”
Jamie reportedly arrived at the facility in late April and is “recovering well” after being treated for the first time at a hospital in Atlanta.
Shortly after Jamie’s “stroke”, sources told Page Six that he suffered from high blood pressure and was “lucky to be alive.”
In an Instagram post on May 3, her family posted on her profile saying, ‘Appreciate all the love!!! Feeling blessed’ followed by praying hands, heart and fox emojis.’
It’s unclear if Jamie himself made the post. At that time, no further details about his condition had been shared, leading to speculation about the severity of his illness.
The Oscar-winning actor’s account also paid tribute on Instagram to his friend Nick Cannon, who took care of hosting for him on popular game show Beat Shazam.
Fans were first alerted to the health scare when her daughter Corinne shared a serious statement on social media on April 12.
The actress wrote: “We wanted to share this, my dad Jamie Foxx had a medical complication yesterday.
“Fortunately, with quick action and great care, he is already on the mend,” she continued.
“We know how loved he is and appreciate your prayers. The family requests privacy during this time,” the statement concluded.
appreciate your prayers. The family requests privacy during this time,” the statement concluded.
At the time of the alleged stroke, Jamie was filming Back In Action, which is being funded by Netflix and is Cameron’s comeback film after his retirement from acting.
JThe project has encountered a number of difficulties, including Jamie reportedly laying off a number of crew members, while the film is experiencing delays.
A source told The Sun: ‘It’s been a disaster, and Cameron must be wondering what she was thinking when she got back.
“But the truth is that Jamie’s health issues now seem quite serious and those earlier delays might end up looking quite minor in comparison. Of course, it’s desperately sad and everyone wishes him the best.
MailOnline has contacted representatives for Jamie, Mike and Netflix for comment.
Cameron was spotted filming the movie with two different doubles for her co-star Jamie, while in hospital last month.
A week after the Oscar-winning actor suffered a “medical complication” on April 11, the Charlie’s Angels star was seen filming scenes for their movie, which is slated for release in early 2024.
The moment marked his first day back on set since Jamie was rushed to hospital following his medical emergency.
His last shoot in Atlanta seems to have been a surprisingly stressful ordeal for the Baby Driver actor, as well as his co-workers.
It was reported in March that Jamie “had an absolute meltdown” while filming the film in the UK, which resulted in several people being fired.
He reportedly kicked out an executive producer from the project, as well as two directors and even his own driver.
According to The Sun, a member of staff has been fired over an apparent scam to access £33,000 in cash from the actor, which was allegedly linked to the sale of a Rolex watch.
There was even more drama when it was revealed that production had been halted last month after an unexploded World War II bomb was discovered on the film’s set in London, just before filming. two major action scenes.
