Nearly a yr after a medical damage sidelined Jamie Foxx from ongoing tasks, the Oscar winner has lined up his first large Hollywood return. Monday, it was revealed Foxx will return to Fox’s Beat Shazam as host for its upcoming season, returning to the sport present after being changed by Nick Cannon for one season. Foxx will as soon as once more host the sequence together with his daughter Corrine, and the 2 will formally return when Beat Shazam’s seventh season debuts in May.
“Jamie and Corinne are the heart and soul of Beat Shazam,” Allison Wallach, president unscripted leisure at Fox Entertainment, mentioned in an announcement saying the return. “As our undeniably dynamic father-daughter hosting team, they bring a relationship like no other to a show like no other, and it’s wonderful having them back on set this season.”
Foxx was filming Netflix’s Back in Action final April when he was rushed to a hospital due to an unspecified emergency. Since then, little has been unveiled about his situation. What little has surfaced has come straight from Foxx, with the actor saying at December’s Critics’ Choice Awards he wasn’t ready to stroll at one level.
“You know, it’s crazy, I couldn’t do that six months ago — I couldn’t actually walk,” Foxx mentioned in his speech earlier than joking, “I’m not a clone, I’m not a clone. I know a lot of people who was saying I was cloned out there.”
He added, “I wouldn’t wish what I went through on my worst enemy, because it’s tough. I have a new respect for life. I have a new respect for my art. I watched so many movies and listened to so many songs trying to have the time go by. Don’t give up on your art, man, don’t give up.”
Foxx was on the awards gala to settle for the Vanguard Award for his efficiency in Prime Video’s The Burial, which he appeared in alongside Jurnee Smollett.
“Working with Jamie, I found a generous scene partner I can lean on and trust,” Smollett mentioned as she launched her co-star. “Even though we were playing rivals battling it out in the courtroom, in him, I found a great cheerleader — one who on our very first day shooting y’all he came, and right after the third take, he came up to me, he’s like, ‘Man, you are killing this role.’ Now I don’t think he understands what that kind of support means to someone like me who’s watched him my entire life.”
