Mike Tyson Is Unsure What’s Going To Happen To His Biopic Series Jamie Foxx Was Set To Star In + Claims Actor Suffered Stroke Before Hospitalization

Jamie Foxx’s Hollywood friends are continuing to send him well wishes amid his current hospitalization.

As previously reported, in April Jamie Foxx was taken to an Atlanta hospital for an undisclosed “medical complication.” Recent reports claim the famed actor was transported to a Chicago-based physical medicine and rehabilitation center this month that specializes in stroke recovery, traumatic brain injury rehab, spinal cord injury rehab and cancer rehabilitation. Jamie Foxx’s team has yet to reveal why he’s receiving treatment at the facility, however, Mike Tyson said he was informed that his friend is recovering from a stroke.

During a recent podcast interview, the retired athlete shared,

“He’s not feeling well. They said a stroke.”

Later in the conversation, he added,

“I have no idea what happened to him.”

Mike Tyson then expressed,

“Hey, listen, we can’t anticipate our next breath. We don’t know when we are gonna die. … After we leave, this bad stuff can happen.”

As mentioned above, those close to Foxx have been pretty tight-lipped about what’s going on with him. When asked why they haven’t spoken out, Mike Tyson replied,

“If we don’t know about it by now, they don’t want us to know.”

Due to his current medical condition, a couple of projects Foxx was working on have had to continue without him. You may recall that Nick Cannon was tapped to replace Foxx as the host for the music game series, “Beat Shazam.”

Foxx was set to play Tyson in an upcoming biopic series, however, it’s unclear if production will have to find a replacement for him as well. During his interview, Tyson touched on the future of the series and said,

“Well, it was a possibility. I don’t know what’s going to happen now. But, you know, it’s a strong possibility because, Jamie’s closer to my age, so in order to do him, they were going to do what they did with Benjamin Button. They were going to make him look younger.”

It’s important to note that at this time Jamie Foxx’s team has not confirmed nor denied Tyson’s claims.

theJasmineBrand continues to send our prayers to Jamie Foxx and his family during this time.
