Seriously? OMG! WTF?

Jamie Foxx, 55, is in Atlanta filming the Netflix movie Back in Action. However, production has been shut down just days before they were expected to wrap because he is in the hospital.

His daughter Corrinne Foxx wrote, “We wanted to share that, my father, Jamie Foxx, experienced a medical complication yesterday. Luckily, due to quick action and great care, he is already on his way to recovery.

“We know how beloved he is and appreciate your prayers. The family asks for privacy during this time.”

She did not say what the complication is that is ailing her father. Hopefully, he will be back on the set soon of the cursed film.

I am saying that because the film, which also stars Cameron Diaz in her comeback role, has been plagued with issues.

While filming in London, Foxx reportedly was unhappy with the way filming was going, so he had four people fired. After that incident, the crew found an old unexploded bomb on location. Thankfully, it did not go off.

With all of these things going on, you have to wonder if Diaz will ever make another movie.

Cameron I hope you aren’t mad I recorded this, but no turning back now. Had to call in the GOAT to bring back another GOAT. @CameronDiaz and I are BACK IN ACTION – our new movie with @NetflixFilm. Production starting later this year!! 🦊🐐 pic.twitter.com/vyaGrUmbWb

Back in 2014, Cameron Diaz announced that she was retiring from acting. Now, 8 years later, she is ready to get back in action with Jamie Foxx.

The two worked together in 2014’s Annie, her last movie before her retirement. That movie was rightfully panned, so you can’t blame her for taking him up on his offer to star in Netflix’s Back to Action. Hopefully, it will be better than their last film. Although, that is not that hard to do.

Production starts later this year on the movie.

Before we know Shemar Moore as a sexy fine man, he dressed up as a Sexy Fine Man on The Jamie Foxx Show. The casting director made the right choice because the 26-year-old was definitely sexy and fine in that 1996 episode.

Jamie Foxx thinks he is indestructible, but he is not. That is because Netflix decided to cancel his show Dad Stop Embarrassing Me after just one season.

I had high hopes for the sitcom because it also starred his In Living Color castmate David Alan Grier. However, the latter was not enough to save the forgettable show.

It is so forgettable that I binged it, and I honestly cannot remember anything about it. Except that Foxx was up to his old schtick, and it doesn’t work in 2021.

Back in 1991, Jamie Foxx and David Alan Grier worked together on In Living Color. Now 30 years later, they are reuniting on Netflix’s Dad Stop Embarrassing Me.

Instead of playing equals as they did on the sketch show, this time around, Grier is playing Foxx’s dad on the sitcom. I would love to know how that phone call went. Did Foxx call him and say, “Dude, I have the perfect role for you on my new show.” Then he told him what it was. Grier was like, that won’t be believable, so Foxx told him to grow a big bushy grey beard. Do you think it worked?

The sitcom is not just about them. Foxx plays a successful businessman and bachelor who suddenly becomes a full-time dad to his daughter Sasha (Kyla-Drew). He is going to need all the help he can get, and he will get that from his dad and sister (Porscha Coleman). But who is going to help Sasha adjust to all of them?

We will just have to tune into Netflix on April 14th to find out. I don’t know about you, but I will be watching because that trailer had me laughing out loud.
