Actor Jamie Foxx is still in hospital a week after suffering a medical complication, according to reports.

Academy Award-winning actor Jamie Foxx is “steadily improving” days after his daughter shared the news of his health condition on social media. According to PEOPLE, the Hollywood veteran is “on the road to recovery” after being hospitalized on Wednesday (April 12).

Foxx's illness remains undisclosed, though. However, the actor had previously spoken to In Living Color alum about his struggles with substance abuse and mental issues that led to him almost being in a coma. He recalled:

"I don't know what's happening, but I'm going to ride it out."

That's what actor told his friend moments before he had a stroke and fell into a coma.

Foxx's friend could see that something was wrong and took him to the emergency room. Another friend stayed at the hospital with him and then took him back to their dormitory, where he was afraid of the dark. He would talk to the actor every night and calm him down by saying things like:

"You're OK; demons aren't real."

Years after the incident, Fox confessed to getting one or two flashbacks a year. He said it felt like all of his fears were coming true and that he was going crazy. He also read up on PCP after it happened and found out that it leaves a fingerprint and you can't get it out of your system.

The next few months will be very critical for Foxx's health. Cameron Diaz has expressed her support on Twitter, assuring his fans that Foxx is in good care and wishing him a speedy recovery.

At this time, there's no information about whether or not production for the aforementioned film will resume as planned later this year.
