The famous actor Jamie Foxx is in the hospital, with his friends asking his fans to pray for him. The Oscar-winning actor has been hospitalized since April 11, and his close friend, Charles Alston, also known as “Charlie Mack” or “Mr. Philadelphia,” he took to Instagram to plead for prayers for him.

In his Instagram post on May 1, Charles asked everyone to keep Jamie in their thoughts and prayers, saying: “We need you back bro. A true champion is not one who wins, it is one who overcomes adversity. Your trial becomes your testimony!’ He continued: “We are all looking forward to welcoming you back home, to celebrate, laugh together and applaud you.”

The actor’s hospitalization came as a shock to his fans, as his friend Nick Cannon had hinted that he was on the mend in an interview with Entertainment Tonight on April 23. However, he did not give any details about his condition.

Before that, a source close to the actor had told the outlet that Jamie was “healing” and “feeling the love from everyone.” Jamie’s 29-year-old daughter, Corinne Foxx, announced his hospitalization in a post on Instagram.

Kerry Washington, who has played Jamie’s wife in two films, sent her love after news of his hospitalisation.

Jamie Foxx has become known for his roles in films such as Ray, Django Unchained and Collateral. He has won several awards, including the Academy Award for Best Actor, for the film Ray, and has a loyal following. His fans and colleagues have been expressing their love and support for him on social media, hoping for a speedy recovery.
