Tristan Tate worried about Hollywood actor Jamie Foxx's health
Hollywood A-lister Jamie Foxx has been in the thoughts of fans in recent months after he was taken to a medical facility and has remained hospitalized since April 11.
Foxx allegedly suffered an accident whilst filming with Cameron Diaz. The 55-year-old was then taken to a medical centre in Chicago which specializes in strokes and recovery.
The ambiguity surrounding Foxx's health has meant there has been much speculation from the media about the severity of his hospital stay. Some reports have gone as far as to say he has suffered from a blood clot as a result of his COVID-19 vaccine.
Jamie Foxx is now paralyzed and blind from a blood clot in his brain after receiving the #mRNA injection.

Despite the details remaining unclear and Jamie Foxx's family assuring fans that he is resting and recovering, fans of the 55-year-old have expressed their sympathy towards him.
One such fan was Tristan Tate, who opted to share on Twitter that his thoughts and prayers are with Foxx and his immediate family. He tweeted:
"I'll be praying for @iamjamiefoxx and his family tonight."
