Martin Lawrence just gave fans an update on Jamie Foxx's slow but sure path to recovery following his medical emergency. Moreover, he recently spoke to Extra at the unveiling of his Hollywood Walk of Fame star, which unfortunately carried a saddened context due to his colleague Foxx's condition. When asked about the Django Unchained star's status, the actor and comedian gave positive words on his prompt recovery. Although this situation distressed many fans out there, all news on the subject has been mostly about promising updates surrounding his health. Hopefully, the actor can return to business as usual soon.

"Well, I hear he’s doing better," Martin Lawrence told the publication. "My prayers go out for him every night, and just wishing the best for him. (He’s) one of the best that we got in Hollywood, not only one of the best entertainers but a good person." Fortunately, recent reports suggested that Jamie Foxx is "awake and alert" as doctors are still monitoring his condition and possibility for release. From the very first message breaking the news, straight from his daughter Corrine, fans knew that he was in good hands.

Martin Lawrence Says Jamie Foxx Is "Doing Better"

"From the Foxx Family," her Instagram post began. "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." However, said news also came attached with early TMZ reports that this situation could've been much more life-threatening. "We’re told his condition was serious enough that Jamie’s family- some of whom were not in town- came to the hospital,” the outlet reported. “He’s communicating now, and that’s good news."

Despite production issues and hijinks that plagued his Netflix film Back In Action during filming, it seems the set has continued with some work following this most recent (and largest) emergency. For example, his body double reportedly filmed some scenes with costar Cameron Diaz. As such, maybe what's going on at the set indicates that Foxx will fully recover soon. On that note, stay logged into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Jamie Foxx and Martin Lawrence.
