Jamie Foxx fighting for his life in hospital: Family and friends make urgent plea for prayers

The health status of Jamie Foxx continues to be a mystery for his fans and the media. The famous 55-year-old actor has been hospitalized for three weeks in a hospital in Atlanta, but little else is known.

Now, the family of the actor and singer, known for movies like Django Unchained or Spider-Man: No Way Home, has asked his followers to pray for him. According to the news portal TMZ, which cites sources close to the celebrity, Foxx's loved ones say he needs all the prayers and well wishes his fans can gather to overcome the medical complication for which he was admitted and which remains secret.

"Pray for Jamie" was the message that a family member conveyed to TMZ. On April 12th, Foxx's daughter Corinne announced that her father had suffered a "medical complication". At that time, the young woman told newspapers, "We want to share that my father, Jamie Foxx, suffered a medical complication yesterday. Fortunately, thanks to prompt action and great care, he is already on the road to recovery." Corinne Foxx, without giving further explanation about her father's health status, asked for "privacy during this time" and respect for one of Hollywood's most recognizable faces.

According to TMZ's own site, citing its sources, Jamie Foxx will not be in the next season of Beat Shazam, the music lyric contest on the Fox network that the actor has been successfully hosting for some time.

Apparently, the recording of the contest has already started with a new host. His daughter Corinne, who is a DJ on the show, will also not be there since she has not left her father's side since he was admitted to the hospital in Atlanta, the North American news portal notes.

Eric Marlon Bishop, born in Texas and better known as Jamie Foxx, is an American actor, comedian, record producer, and R&B singer. Foxx became well known for his portrayal of Ray Charles in the biographical film Ray in 2004, for which he won an Academy Award, a Golden Globe, a BAFTA, and a Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Actor, being one of the few African-American actors to win the top awards in the film industry.
