Sources close to Jamie Foxx say his condition, after his mysterious ailment, is still in recovery, and although he is recovering, he is doing better than expected, PEOPLE reported.
“He is getting the best care and working hard to recover right now, but he is still not himself,” a source told PEOPLE. “He has the tightest circle around him.”
Currently residing at a physical rehabilitation facility in Chicago, Foxx is said to be “doing well,” according to co-star John Boyega of the upcoming Netflix movie “They Cloned Tyrone,” coming soon on July 21, said. “And then, you know, we just giving him the privacy, and we can’t wait for his return.”
Boyega’s response to Foxx’s condition is the Star War’s second person to publicly confirm that Foxx can and more likely will be OK from his ailment – the other person being Datari Turner who coproduced the film alongside Foxx.
At the movie’s Los Angeles premiere on June 27, Boyega claimed he was still attempting to contact Foxx after the film’s debut at the American Black Film Festival in Miami Beach, Florida, to wish him a swift recovery a week prior.
“He’s doing amazing. I promise you. Doing really, really good,” he said. “[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,” Turner said on June 28.
As Sister 2 Sister previously reported, sources close to Foxx had to say rumors that he was blinded and paralyzed by the COVID-19 vaccine are false.
The mystery behind Foxx’s condition is being used by the far-right, anti-vaccine community to discredit the safety of the COVID-19 vaccine to fit their narrative.
It is important to note that Foxx’s family has not provided any further information about his hospitalization and recovery.
According to one report, he was admitted from an undisclosed hospital in Atlanta before being treated at an unnamed rehab facility in Chicago, where his family said he had the opportunity to play pickle ball, a low-impact paddle sport that combines elements of badminton, tennis and ping-pong.
