Over the past month, fans and celebrities have been concerned over the health of Jamie Foxx. The actor has broken his silence for the first time since April 11 after suffering an unknown medical complication. Since then, much is unknown about the actor’s health, but he is said to be improving quickly. But how is the actor getting sick a blow to Lewis Hamilton’s dream?

Well, the story goes back a while. We all know how big of a movie aficionado the Mercedes driver is. Having already been reported to be working on a project and rejecting a role in the 2022 blockbuster Top Gun Maverick, Hamilton is close to plenty of A-list Hollywood celebs. With himself being the first and only black F1 driver, Lewis has been no short of an inspiration for all, and therefore, there have been talks about his biopic over the years.

10 years ago, the driver was asked who should play him whenever a biopic is in the works. To this, as per the Sports Mole, the driver replied to a BBC Sports reader’s question, saying, “Probably Jamie Foxx. He would be awesome. He’s one of the best actors around at the moment. I watched him in Django Unchained recently. Sick movie.” With health having taken a hit, the actor, who is also said to be close to Hamilton, could possibly take a step back in his career.

Fortunately, Foxx’s health is improving, and the actor himself has broken his silence. In his Instagram post, Foxx writes, “Appreciate all the love!!! Feeling blessed”. We wish Foxx all the best and hope he makes a quick recovery.

Update on the Lewis Hamilton-Brad Pitt project

Megastars Brad Pitt and Lewis Hamilton have teamed up for a Formula 1 movie. While much isn’t known about the project, the driver isn’t shying away from hyping it up. The only thing that we know is that it “Follows a Formula One driver who comes out of retirement to mentor and team with a younger driver,” as per IMDb.

In October, Hamilton said, as per the Insider, “I have such high hopes for it. I know we’re going to make the best racing movie that’s ever existed, both visually, and we’re going to work on making sure we pull on the heartstrings of all those fans.”
