Nigerian-born British actor, John Boyega has shared an update on his unwell co-star Jamie Foxx.
Boyega assures everyone that Foxx is “all good” as he perseveres through his recovery from a medical emergency during his ongoing health struggle, the details of which remain undisclosed.
Boyega, 31, who stars alongside Foxx, 55, in the new film They Cloned Tyrone sparked concern earlier this month when he revealed he ‘hadn’t heard’ from the actor following his mystery medical emergency back in April.
Speaking to ET Canada, Boyega said of Foxx:
‘He’s all good. He’s all good’ when asked if he’s spoken to the actor lately.
So we’re just going to wait for him to reappear when he wants to.’
Meanwhile, fellow co-star Teyonnah Parris said:
‘Giving people space to heal how they need to do.’
In June, Boyega told People Magazine that
‘He finally picked up the phone. Thank you, bro. 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.’
Datari Turner, who co-produced the film alongside Foxx said:
‘He’s doing amazing. I promise you. Doing really, really good. [Director] Juel [Taylor] talked to him yesterday.
‘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.’
Glamsquad recalls that Jamie Foxx suffered a ‘medical complication’ in April and according to his daughter, Corinne Foxx.
However, his fans have been concerned for his well-being ever since.
Foxx, who was born Eric Bishop, was filming the action-comedy Back In Action with Cameron Diaz in Atlanta, Georgia, in April when he was admitted to hospital.
The actor has been treated at a facility in Chicago, which specializes in treatment for adults with ‘severe complex conditions’, including stroke recovery – although it has not been revealed what condition Foxx is suffering from.
