Jamie Foxx has ‘suffered a stroke’ claims Mike Tyson and Back In Action film is in chaos again
ACTOR Jamie Foxx is rumoured to have suffered a stroke — throwing Cameron Diaz’s troubled movie comeback into even more chaos.
Boxing legend Mike Tyson revealed the shock news about the 55-year-old, who sources previously said had been battling a serious health condition.
Tyson, 56, who has been planning a biopic starring Foxx, said: “He’s not feeling well. They said a stroke. I have no idea what happened to him.”
The US star has spent several weeks in hospital, though he was believed to be now resting at home.
His latest Netflix-funded film Back in Action is Diaz’s big comeback after retiring from movies nine years ago.
But it has been plagued by problems, with Foxx axing several crew members amid various delays and difficulties as they film in London.
A source said: “This has been a disaster, and Cameron must be wondering what she was thinking by coming back. But the truth is Jamie’s health problems now look pretty serious and those delays earlier on might end up looking quite minor by comparison.
"Of course, it’s desperately sad and everyone wishes him all the best.”
Foxx won an Oscar for his portrayal of Ray Charles in the 2004 blockbuster Ray.
He has also enjoyed major success as a musician, landing a Grammy Award and four top ten albums in the US.
