Jamie Foxx is Officially on the Road to Recovery

The Academy Award-winning actor recently suffered a mysterious health scare while filming his upcoming movie "Back in Action."

Academy Award-winning actor Jamie Foxx is officially on the road to recovery days after reports revealed the Ray star had suffered “a medical complication” early last week.

According to PEOPLE, the 55-year-old Hollywood veteran is “steadily improving” after his daughter, Corinne Foxx, informed fans on social media of her father’s health condition last Wednesday on April 12.

While details are scarce, Corinne did reveal in a post that “Luckily, due to quick action and great care,” her father was “already on his way to recovery.”

Foxx had been filming his upcoming Netflix movie, Back in Action, in Atlanta, GA, when the incident occurred, and the set was ultimately “shut down.” An unidentified source who spoke to the outlet claimed filming resumed the following day using a stand-in for Foxx on set.

A casting director also told the publication that Sunday’s filming was canceled due to "changes in production" and that Foxx’s scene will not be rescheduled as a result. However, scenes that were scheduled to film the following Monday and Tuesday are still expected to continue.
