Jamie Foxx Returns to Filming 'Back in Action' After Health Scare

Co-star Cameron Diaz Defends Foxx Amid Rumors, Celebrates His Recovery and Return to Work

Jamie Foxx has resumed filming for the Netflix movie 'Back in Action' with co-star Cameron Diaz in Atlanta, following a health scare that led to a pause in production.
Foxx was hospitalized in April 2023 for an unspecified medical emergency, and his daughter Corinne announced that he was released from the hospital the following month.
Despite rumors of on-set tension, Diaz has publicly defended Foxx, dispelling rumors that she quit acting due to his behavior and stating that he is 'the best' and a 'cheerleader for the entire crew.'
Foxx has spoken about his health scare, stating that he 'couldn't actually walk' six months ago and that he 'went to hell and back,' but is now 'able to work.'
The filming of 'Back in Action' began in London in December 2022 and later moved to Atlanta; this marks Diaz's return to the big screen after nearly a decade.
