Garcelle Beauvais dismisses rumors of Jamie Foxx's near-death experience

Garcelle Beauvais, a longtime friend of actor and musician Jamie Foxx, has spoken out against recent rumors that Foxx was "near death." The rumors began to circulate online after Foxx's appearance at the Academy Awards in April 2023, where some fans expressed concern about his appearance.

However, according to Beauvais, Foxx is in good health and the rumors are unfounded. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Beauvais revealed that she had spoken to Foxx's family and that they had assured her that he was doing well.

"I talked to his sister and his daughter, and they said he's doing great," Beauvais said. "There's nothing wrong with him."

Beauvais went on to speculate that the rumors may have been started by fans who were simply worried about Foxx's appearance at the Oscars. "I think people were just concerned because he looked a little tired, but he's been working really hard," she said. "He's always on the go, so it's not surprising that he might look a little worn out."

Foxx has not publicly commented on the rumors, but Beauvais's reassurance should put fans' minds at ease. Foxx, who is known for his roles in films like Ray and Django Unchained, as well as his music career, has been busy in recent years. He is currently working on several film projects, including a biopic about boxer Mike Tyson.

Despite the rumors, it seems that Foxx is doing well and is as busy as ever. Fans can look forward to seeing more of him on both the big screen and the stage in the coming months and years.
