Jamie Foxx BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Jamie Foxx has been making headlines in the past few days for several reasons. According to the Daily Times and multiple entertainment outlets, Foxx was very close to joining the Fast & Furious franchise as a major villain, with a post-credits scene written specifically for him in F9. The idea was detailed in Barry Hertz’s new book “Welcome To The Family,” which reveals that the writers crafted several potential villain introductions, including one for Foxx, but ultimately went with Jason Statham’s character. There’s no confirmation on whether Foxx was approached or declined the role, but the possibility of him joining the saga in the future remains open.

On the personal front, Foxx continues to speak candidly about his health. Following his serious medical emergency in April 2023, which left him hospitalized for nearly three weeks, Foxx has announced plans for a stand-up special where he’ll share his experience in a humorous way. He recently told Variety Film + TV that he intends to “do it in a funny way,” returning to his stand-up roots to discuss his recovery.

Foxx’s professional activities include co-hosting a new Fox music game show called “We Are Family” alongside his daughter Corinne Foxx, as reported by IMDb. This marks another step in their expanding relationship with the network.

Social media buzz has also surrounded Foxx, with Donald Glover referencing him during a recent public appearance. Glover joked about suffering a stroke, saying he felt like he was “copying Jamie Foxx,” highlighting the ongoing public interest in Foxx’s health journey.

There are currently no upcoming live events for Foxx, according to SeatGeek, but fans are eagerly awaiting his return to the stage. Overall, Foxx remains a prominent figure in both entertainment and public conversation, with his health, career moves, and potential future roles keeping him in the spotlight.
