John Boyega gives Jamie Foxx update as he recovers from health emergency

John Boyega has given an update on Jamie Foxx's health condition after the actor was rushed to hospital.

The legendary actor was rushed to hospital in April this year after his daughter Corinne Foxx, 29, claimed he suffered from a "medical complication".

Following his health issues, it is believed that Jamie, 55, spent time in a rehabilitation clinic after the incident which occurred while he was working on a new movie. Sources close to the actor say he is "still not himself" but is said to be being treated by the best team to assist his recovery.

Now, his pal and co-star John Boyega, 31, has offered an update just weeks after saying he hadn't heard from his close pal since the incident.

"He's all good," he told ET Canada when asked if he had spoken to his pal, before going on to say: "So we're just going to wait for him to reappear when he wants to."

Last month, John explained that Jamie had "finally picked up the phone", before explaining that those around him were "giving him privacy" to recuperate in peace.

"I gave him the well wishes directly," he told People, before adding: "[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."

John starred alongside Jamie in the upcoming production, They Cloned Tyrone which is scheduled to be released on the streaming platform on July 21 with the pair appearing alongside Teyonah Parris.

A synopsis for the upcoming film reads: "An eerie series of events leads an unlikely trio (John, Teyonah and Jamie) down a rabbit hole into a sinister neighbourhood conspiracy."

But sources believed to be close to Jamie claim he's not himself. The insider went on to add that those around the legendary actor are remaining tight-lipped about his condition.

Pal Nick Cannon previously explained that Jamie will address his health worries when he is ready.

Jamie's representatives, however, have shut down claims that he was hospitalized after being administered a coronavirus vaccination. Following Jamie's hospitalisation, an unsubstantiated claim was made by Hollywood gossip columnist AJ Benza who alleged Jamie became unwell after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine but his representatives claim this is "completely untrue".

The unsubstantiated claim is part of a narrative pushed by some far-right personalities to cast doubt on the safety of vaccines, even though studies have confirmed they are safe and effective.
