On May 12, Foxx’s 29-year-old daughter, Corinne, announced that her father had been “out of the hospital for weeks” and “recuperating.”

He’s been attending a physical rehabilitation facility in Chicago and Corinne said at the time he’d been feeling well enough to engage in one of his favourite sports, pickleball.

On April 12, Corinne announced that her dad had “experienced a medical complication” the previous day. She said that “due to quick action and great care” he was on his way to recovery, but never disclosed the nature of what happened to him.

Over the weeks, celebrities have taken to social media to extend their well wishes to Foxx, but have made no mention of a medical condition.

At the time of his hospitalization, he was in Atlanta filming Netflix movie Back in Action with fellow actors Cameron Diaz and Glenn Close.
