Production later moved to Atlanta, where Jamie and Diaz worked on the action-comedy flick until Jamie's daughter, Corinne Foxx, revealed that he had faced a "medical complication" through a post shared on Instagram. In a statement shared on behalf of the Foxx family, Corinne, 29, wrote: "We wanted to share that my father, Jamie Foxx, experienced a medical complication yesterday. Luckily, due to quick action and great care, he is already on his way to recovery. We know how beloved he is and appreciate your prayers. The family asks for privacy during this time." Foxx had previously been spotted filming Back in Action in Atlanta just a few days before the announcement. His health-related incident did not happen while he was on set, and he was not transported to the hospital via emergency vehicle, PEOPLE later confirmed. At the time, PEOPLE also confirmed that Back in Action's set was "shut down" the same day that Corinne made her initial post.

"I really hate all of the things that were being said about our set at the time,” she said on Molly Sims' Lipstick on the Rim podcast. "You just want to scream at the top of your lungs, like, 'What are you talking about?' " "Jamie is, like, the cheerleader for the entire crew. Everybody loves him,” she continued. “We have so much fun on the set with him, and he's just a professional on every level.” The star also said she "had a blast" working on the film, adding that Jamie — whom she previously worked with on 1999's Any Given Sunday and 2014's Annie — is “the best.” “I love that guy so much,” she added. “He's such a special person, and he's so talented, so much fun."
