Amidst his ongoing recovery from a recent medical issue, Jamie Foxx, the charismatic host of "Beat Shazam," was notably absent from the premiere of his latest film, "They Cloned Tyrone." The sci-fi comedy, which premiered at the American Black Film Festival in Miami Beach, Florida, saw Foxx's co-stars expressing their well wishes and support for the actor.
John Boyega, one of Foxx's co-stars in the film, expressed his concern and support, stating his intention to continue reaching out to Foxx. Foxx plays the character Slick Charles and also holds a producer credit on the film, which follows an unlikely trio investigating a strange neighborhood conspiracy.
Teyonah Parris, another co-star, praised Foxx's vibrant personality and the positive energy he brings to set, wishing him a full recovery. Director Juel Taylor also offered his thoughts and prayers for Foxx's well-being.
While the specifics of Foxx's medical condition remain undisclosed, his daughter Corinne previously shared that prompt medical attention had contributed to his recovery. A representative for Foxx dismissed a report linking his health issue to a COVID-19 vaccine booster as "completely inaccurate." Foxx himself briefly addressed the situation on social media, expressing gratitude for the outpouring of support. Corinne later updated that her father had been out of the hospital for several weeks and was actively recuperating.
In Foxx's absence, Nick Cannon and Kelly Osbourne have stepped in to host "Beat Shazam."
