Jamie Foxx returns to set after health scare

Actors Cameron Diaz and Jamie Foxx were recently seen back in action on the set of their upcoming movie, “Back in Action,” in Atlanta, Ga. This marked their first appearance together since Foxx, 56, experienced a health emergency in April 2023. The pair appeared to be in high spirits, as they were spotted walking outside in casual clothing.

Diaz, 51, rocked dark gray cargo-style skinny pants with a white shirt and cream cardigan, while Foxx sported navy slacks and a dark gray sweater. They both wore matching white sneakers, exuding a laid-back vibe as they returned to work.

After Foxx’s hospitalization, there were conflicting reports about his health and whether he would continue filming for the action-comedy. His daughter, Corinne, took to social media to provide updates and refute rumors, stating, “My Dad has been out of the hospital for weeks, recuperating.” She also thanked everyone for their prayers and support.

Foxx himself addressed his health status on Instagram, reassuring fans that he was in the process of healing and expressing gratitude for their support. He revealed that he had gone through a challenging experience but emphasized that he was not blind or paralyzed, contrary to some speculations.

Diaz expressed her admiration for Foxx

In July 2023, Foxx returned to Instagram to discuss his condition further, sharing, “I went through something I thought I would never, ever go through.” Despite facing hurdles in his recovery, he expressed determination to come back stronger and continue working.

The actors’ return to set also followed Diaz’s defense of her co-star against rumors of a “meltdown” before his hospitalization. She expressed her admiration for Foxx on Molly Sims’ “Lipstick on the Rim” podcast, saying, “Jamie is the best. I love that guy so much. He’s such a special person and he’s so talented, so much fun.”

Foxx’s openness about his health journey and the support from his co-star and family reflect a resilient and positive outlook. Their return to filming “Back in Action” signifies a significant milestone in their professional collaboration and serves as an inspiring example of overcoming challenges with grace and determination.
