Mike Tyson let slip that actor Jamie Foxx has ‘suffered a stroke’ during an appearance on a podcast.
The Oscar-winning actor previously spent an extended period of time in hospital, before his daughter confirmed that he was at home recovering from a “medical complication.”
But now the world champion boxer seemed to confirm the actor suffered a stroke, following reports that his Netflix film, Back In Action is in chaos again after several setbacks.

As host Patrick Bet-David asked further questions, Tyson put a stop to the conversation and shared no further insight.
The 55-year-old actor’s latest project titled Back In Action for Netflix was supposed to be the big comeback film for Cameron Diaz.
She initially retired from acting in 2014 after she made Annie, alongside Jamie Foxx.
But the movie has been plagued with setbacks after they faced delays and difficulty during production in London – including an unexploded bomb being found on set – which forced Jamie to axe several crew members.
A source previously explained: “This has been a disaster, and Cameron must be wondering what she was thinking by coming back.

“But the truth is Jamie’s health problems now look pretty serious and those delays earlier on might end up looking quite minor by comparison. Of course it’s desperately sad and everyone wishes him all the best.”
This comes after Jamie previously spent weeks in hospital, but his daughter confirmed her dad is now at home recovering after his health scare.
Corrine Fox, 29, took to social media in April to say that her dad had suffered a “medical complication” the day prior while shooting the Netflix film Back in Action in Atlanta.
Amid reports that the family was “preparing for the worst”, she updated her father’s fans and claimed her dad has been “out of the hospital for weeks” and is at home recovering.
Corrine took to Instagram with a statement from the family that read: “Update from the family: Sad to see how the media runs wild.

“We have an exciting work announcement coming next week too!”
