At the Hollywood premiere of They Cloned Tyrone on June 27, 2023, actor John Boyega said he had spoken to Jamie Foxx and that Foxx is still recovering but better, Rolling Stone reported.
Boyega said, “He’s doing well. And then, you know, we just giving him the privacy, and we can’t wait for his return. I gave him the well wishes directly. I gave him all the well wishes. So I’m just gonna be waiting until he comes back out here. So take your time, Jamie. We love you, bro.”
In case there’s any doubt, Datari Turner, who co-produced the Netflix film with Foxx, shared, “He’s doing amazing. I promise you. Doing really, really good. [Director Juel Taylor] talked to him yesterday.” Turner added, “John Boyega talked to him yesterday. He’s in really, really good shape and spirits. And he’ll be back on the screen. He’ll be back to work very soon.”
According to Billboard, actress Porscha Coleman, who co-starred with Foxx in Netflix’s Dad, Stop Embarrassing Me, said while at the BET Awards, “I’ve talked to people very close to Foxx; he is doing well.”
Black Enterprise previously reported that Foxx was hospitalized, and no details were given about his condition. At the time, Boyega said Foxx was not answering any of his calls. He said, “I’ve been calling. I’m just gonna keep on calling. He better pick up. Come on, Jamie!”
While Foxx posted to his Instagram on June 13, 2023, people were still left to speculate as to why the Academy Award-winning actor was hospitalized. The post read, “It’s about to go down. #TheyClonedTyrone coming July 21, only on @netflix.”
In May 2023, Foxx’s daughter, Corinne, tried to quell public concerns over her father’s health, Black Enterprise reported. She posted on social media, “My Dad has been out of the hospital for weeks, recuperating.”
Our continued well wishes to the multifaceted star as he continues his recovery journey.
