Foxx's family said the actor had a medical complication while filming an upcoming Netflix action movie "Back in Action" and was hospitalized.

The actor's daughter, Corinne Foxx, said her father suffered a medical complication on April 11, 2023. She added that her father had been taken to the hospital, was under great care, and already recuperating.

A source close to the family said the medical complication was serious that Foxx had to be hospitalized. As per the insider, the medical complication was so grave that the actor's family, who were out of town, came to visit him in the hospital.

As much as Foxx was soon able to communicate, doctors chose to keep him in the hospital for a few days to perform tests because they hadn't gotten to the bottom of what had happened to him.

By mid-May 2023, sources revealed that Foxx was hospitalized in a top physical rehabilitation facility in Chicago that specialized in brain injury, stroke, spinal cord injury, and cancer recovery.

How Did Foxx's Daughter Slam Health Speculations

Many people speculated about Foxx's health due to the high level of privacy the family kept around the matter. One person asked on social media, "Why is it still such a huge secret on what's wrong with him."

However, Foxx's family didn't respond to this question, which has led to a lot of media headlines speculating about the actor's well-being.
