Jamie Foxx, the renowned 55-year-old actor and comedian, is still on the road to recovery seven months after a mysterious health scare. While his social media presence paints a picture of normalcy, insiders reveal that Foxx is facing challenges behind the scenes, as reported by RadarOnline.com.
Recent posts on Foxx's Instagram showcase moments from his latest movie 'The Burial,' along with personal celebrations, like his daughter Anelise Bishop's 15th birthday party. Notably absent from his social media is any mention of his withdrawal from the Fox game show 'We Are Family,' which he was set to host with his older daughter, Corinne Foxx. This withdrawal has raised concerns among his friends about the completeness of his recovery.
"Jamie pulling out of another project has friends worried that he hasn't recuperated as well as everyone thinks," shared an insider with the National Enquirer. "He's struggling, but Jamie has been very private about what happened and his recovery."
In April, Corinne alerted fans about her father's "medical complication," which temporarily halted production on the Netflix film 'Back in Action.' Foxx subsequently spent weeks at a rehabilitation facility in Chicago, specializing in strokes and traumatic brain injuries. However, the specifics of his condition have remained largely private.
Foxx hinted at his challenges in a social media post in July, saying, "I did go through hell and back... My road to recovery had some potholes as well, but I'm coming back." Despite these setbacks, insiders suggest Foxx is cautious about resuming his full workload.
"In the end, Jamie wasn't ready to add hosting a new game show to his schedule," the source revealed to OK magazine. "He's being very careful regarding his health issue." This caution stems from his desire not to jeopardize the progress he's made in his recovery.
Corinne, while disappointed about the change in their show-hosting plans, understands her father's need to prioritize his health. The source added, "Jamie hasn't had any major setbacks recently, still he doesn't want to overdo it."
As Foxx approaches his birthday on December 13, he reportedly expresses a wish to celebrate many more, indicating his ongoing commitment to his health and recovery. The actor's situation underscores the often unseen struggles behind public figures' lives, even as they maintain a brave front in the public eye.
