Fans And Friends Send Good Wishes After Jamie Foxx's Continued Hospitalization Is Revealed

It’s been three weeks now since Jamie Foxx was first hospitalized, for an as yet unclear medical complication. For a long time, little was known about what happened and what the Django Unchained actor’s status actually was. However, following Foxx’s first public social media post since being hospitalized, fans and friends of the actor are sending the actor well wishes for a speedy recovery, now that recovery is seeming more likely.

Social media has been flooded by both those that consider Jamie Foxx a friend, and those that are simply big fans of the actor's body of work. While there’s still a lot we don’t know, and so there’s still a real concern for the actor’s health, there are a lot of people pulling for him.

How Fans Of Jamie Foxx Have Responded

As an actor who has appeared in superhero movies and Quentin Tarantino films and who has won an Academy Award for his portrayal of Ray Charles, there are a wide variety of fans that Jamie Foxx has cultivated over the years. It seems that every role of Foxx’s is somebody’s favorite and several fans are supporting Foxx on Twitter by drawing attention to their personal favorite of his films.

Still other fans are simply pointing out the incredible width and breadth to his entire career. Even if you don’t consider yourself a major Foxx fan, there is probably at least one of his movies that you love simply by virtue of the fact that he has done so much over the years. And fans hope that there will be many more opportunities to see him shine. 

Foxx was busy filming a new movie with a recently unretired Cameron Diaz when this “medical complication,” as it has been called, occurred. The staus of the movie itself without Foxx is murky at this point. It’s still largely unclear what exactly happened, whether he was injured or was afflicted by some internal malady. But whatever the issue, seeing Foxx post publicly indicates that he is on the mend and that certainly has fans happy.

Of course, if those that are simply fans of Jamie Foxx are happy he’s doing better, one can only imagine how those that actually know him are feeling.

What Friends Of Jamie Foxx Are Saying

In the era of social media it’s easy to feel like you have a closer relationship with a public figure, but Jamie Foxx certainly has friends who are very much personally invested in their friend’s health struggles. Fellow Oscar winner Viola Davis posted a picture of herself with Foxx that included a statement that the world needs Foxx in it.

LeBron James is, his team probably hopes, focused on the ongoing NBA playoffs, but the Los Angeles Lakers star took a moment to give a shoutout to Foxx, who he called his brother.

One of Jamie Foxx’s most vocal friends since his hospitalization has been Nick Canon. The two are close enough that Canon says Foxx has asked him to do an important favor, though he has not yet revealed what that is.

We certainly all hope that Jamie Foxx does have a speedy recovery and is able to get out of the hospital soon. We will likely learn more about exactly what happened to him soon. Until then, his friends hope to see him again and the rest of us hope we get to see hm back on the screen before too long.
