One of Jamie Foxx's recent costars is praying for him as he recovers from a health scare.
At the John Ritter Foundation's annual An Evening From the Heart fundraiser in Los Angeles on Thursday, Natasha Blasick — who worked with Foxx, 55, on a film titled All-Star Weekend — told Entertainment Tonight that a friend of the actor's recently told her that Foxx is "recovering."
"I was texting him, and just yesterday I talked to his friend, who's like really in touch with him. I was, like, really freaking out [with] all of the news that he's getting worse," Blasick told the outlet. "So I was texting [his friend], and he's like, 'No, no, no, he's recovering.' "
"So just hearing that he was recovering made me feel so much better," she continued, sharing that she is "just praying" for Foxx's continued recovery.
"And my friend yesterday reached out to me, and she's like, 'Let's pray together,' " Blasick told the outlet. "I mean, it's really crazy. All we have in this world is our health. Our life. So it's very scary."
Blasick went on to say that she "just hope[s] that truly he feels that he's blessed, and [knows] everybody's praying for his health and speedy recovery."
"I think he's such a wonderful person," she told ET. "He brings so much light and laughter into this world. And I just hope in times like this [that] he feels it back, that we think about him and we pray for him."
Foxx's daughter, Corinne Foxx, issued a statement on Instagram on April 12 saying that he had sustained a "medical complication" the day prior.
