Jamie Foxx is communicating again after he was hospitalized for a “medical emergency” on Tuesday morning, a representative for the actor said Wednesday.
“His condition was serious enough that Jamie’s family, some of whom were not in town, came to the hospital,” the rep said. “He is communicating now.”
Foxx, 55, is in Atlanta working on the movie “Back In Action” with Cameron Diaz and Glenn Close, the rep said.
Foxx’s daughter, Corinne Foxx, released a statement on Instagram earlier Wednesday saying that “luckily, due to quick action and great care, he is already on his way to recovery.”
“We know how beloved he is and appreciate your prayers. The family asks for privacy during this time,” it concludes.
