There has been speculation on the minds of many since prolific actor Jamie Foxx was hospitalized for a medical problem in early April.
While Foxx and his family have remained tight-lipped about what exactly happened or what he has been doing in the months since, his producing partner Datari Turner has offered an update on when fans can expect to see the Oscar-winning actor back in action.
“He’s doing amazing,” he told People at the Hollywood premiere of his and Foxx’s film “They Cloned Tyrone” on Tuesday.
Perhaps knowing that people keeping up with this story have received similarly vague updates several times already, he insisted, “I promise you. Doing really, really good.”
He said the film’s director Juel Taylor and co-star John Boyega both spoke with Foxx yesterday.
“He’s in really, really good shape and spirits,” he reiterated. “And he’ll be back on the screen. He’ll be back to work very soon.”
“I’ve been calling, I’m just going to keep on calling. He better pick up. Come on, Jamie!” he added.
At last night’s event, Boyega revealed that he had officially spoken to him, saying, “He finally picked up the phone. Thank you, bro.”
He added, “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.”
