Actor Jamie Foxx is still in the hospital after suffering a serious "medical complication" earlier this month, but his friend Nick Cannon says that things are looking much better. Foxx had been hard at work on the upcoming action movie Back in Action when the incident happened, and the Oscar winner's daughter, Corrine Foxx, shared on social media that her dad had been hospitalized. At the time, it was noted that he was "already on his way to recovery," though as of now, he remains under medical care with no clear indication as of yet when he'll be back to 100%.
Now, per ET Online, Cannon offered some new information on Foxx's current status during his new radio show The Daily Cannon. For his part, Cannon isn't saying what exactly is going on with Foxx, but notes how he's been "praying" for his friend. Cannon refers back to an Instagram post he made shortly thereafter and comments on how he's been continuing to pray ever since he started doing so on that day.
"Man, I'm praying," Cannon said when asked about Foxx's condition. "You see, I posted on Instagram. I literally have been saying prayers out loud. Words of affirmation for my big brother."
Cannon then said he's doing a special "favor" for Foxx, though he can't divulge what that is just yet. He does promise that this will soon be revealed. Cannon also notes how Foxx is "awake" and "alert," clearly happy with how things are going for his pal with his recovery.
"I know he's doing so much better because I'm actually about to do something special for him, and doing him a favor."

"I know he's doing so much better because I'm actually about to do something special for him, and doing him a favor," Cannon explained. "I can't really say what it is, but it'll be out there soon. I was reluctant to go all the way there, and even talk about it, but he gave me the blessing, so it's a beautiful thing. He's awake. They say he's alert, so, we love it... That's family right there."
Production on Back in Action was so close to getting completed that the decision was made to continue filming without Foxx, using body doubles to fill in for the actor. There's no word yet on when the film, which also features Cameron Diaz coming out of retirement, will be released in movie theaters.
