Actor Jamie Foxx has experienced a medical emergency and is currently recovering in hospital, according to a statement from his daughter Corinne. The nature of the emergency has not been disclosed, but Foxx is said to be under observation in a Georgia hospital. Representatives for the actor have declined to comment further. Foxx was filming in Atlanta for the Netflix movie Back in Action, which also stars Cameron Diaz and Glenn Close, before his hospitalization.
According to an insider, Foxx suffered a brain bleed that was discovered when he sought medical attention for headaches. The source explained that doctors consider the bleed to be minor, and Foxx is expected to make a full recovery.
The Centers for Disease and Control have listed five common causes of brain bleeds, including head trauma, high blood pressure, amyloid angiography, aneurysms, and blood vessel abnormalities. While it's unclear what caused Foxx's brain bleed, the source noted that his condition is likely unrelated to any of these five causes. . A source says the actor is “steadily improving”. A separate source also said that production on Back In Action — the movie Foxx is currently filming — was “shut down” on Wednesday following his health scare.
Another website indicated he had suffered a stroke but that's unconfirmed.
