AceShowbiz - John Boyega isn't worried at all about Jamie Foxx's absence from the public eye since his hospitalization. After not being seen in 88 days, the 55-year-old actor "will reappear when he wants to," his "They Cloned Tyrone" co-star believes.
John gave an update on Jamie's condition in an interview with ET Canada to promote their new movie. Asked if he had spoken to Jamie recently, the British star replied, "Yeah. He's all good. He's all good. So we're just going to wait for him to reappear when he wants to. You know, privacy and all."
Teyonah Parris, who also stars in the sci-fi mystery film and joined the interview, then weighed in on Jamie's recovery. Agreeing with John, she urged everyone to give Jamie "space to heal how they need to do."
In the same interview, John recalled how Jamie entertained the cast and crew during filming of Juel Taylor's feature film directorial debut. "We got three stand up shows that you would normally pay $29.99 for. He gave us that for free, he played the piano, you know, sang some songs, all of that. I don't need to ever go to one of these shows again," he joked.
Back in June, John revealed that Jamie "finally picked up the phone." At the Hollywood premiere of their film in late last month, the 31-year-old said, "He finally picked up the phone. Thank you, bro. He's doing well."
The "Star Wars" actor added, "And then, you know, we (are) just giving him the privacy, and we can't wait for his return. I gave him the well-wishes directly. I gave him all the well-wishes. So I'm just gonna be waiting until he comes back out here. So take your time, Jamie. We love you, bro."
Jamie was hospitalized in April in Atlanta, where he was filming "Back in Action". After discharged from the hospital, he was reportedly moved to a top physical rehab center in Chicago in late April, where he has been undergoing intense physiotherapy.
According to a recent report, Jamie's family has been keeping his condition very quiet because they don't want anyone to see him in a "fragile" state. A source told OK! earlier this week,"Jamie's family is keeping his condition very quiet. He is still pretty fragile, and his loved ones know Jamie wouldn't want anyone seeing him like that."
