One of the greatest topics to emerge from the “Back in Action” production so far involves Jamie Foxx’s unexpected hospitalisation. The actor is now in Atlanta filming the movie alongside Cameron Diaz.
The majority of the time, Foxx’s work garners a lot of attention, and this is true with his most recent film, Cameron Diaz’s first in a number of years. Foxx and Diaz also collaborated on the 2014 adaptation of “Annie,” as some fans may remember, but there has been plenty of drama on site in addition to Foxx’s medical issue.
The “Horrible Bosses” actor reportedly had a “meltdown” on set in March, according to The U.S. Sun, which put a major damper on Diaz’s much-publicized comeback to the big screen.
“There have been some issues on set, and Jamie has had a major meltdown over it all,” an insider told the outlet. “He demanded the problems be sorted immediately and sacked four of the production staff — as if that would magically improve the situation.”
In the end, Foxx dismissed a few members of his crew, including his driver, sparking many conflicts on the set.
Update from Jamie Foxx’s daughter Corinne
Corinne Foxx, Jamie Foxx’s daughter, is providing some clarification on her father’s unexpected hospitalisation. On April 12, Corinne posted a few brief facts concerning her father’s ill condition on her Instagram account.
“We wanted to share that, my father, Jamie Foxx, experienced a medical complication yesterday. Luckily, due to quick action and great care, he is already on his way to recovery,” she wrote. “We know how beloved he is and appreciate your prayers. The family asks for privacy during this time.”
Jamie’s Instagram account hasn’t received any updates as of the time of this writing, and his most recent post was made a week before his health problem. Jamie made an appearance aboard an opulent yacht in the brief video and included the names Loren Ridinger and Taylor Chien in the description. That post gave fans a chance to send Jamie their warmest regards.
Jamie was in Atlanta filming “Back in Action” when the medical emergency happened, according to NBC News. “His condition was serious enough that Jamie’s family, some of whom were not in town, came to the hospital,” the star’s rep said. “He is communicating now.”
