Jamie Foxx's medical emergency is said to be causing havoc with the filming for his latest movie.
The star, 55, is in the middle of filming scenes for Back In Action, which also features Cameron Diaz and Glenn Close.
However, the Hollywood veteran was rushed to hospital this week after experiencing a "medical complication".
His family initially asked for fans to prayer for the star and he is now said to be recovering. His daughter Corinne Foxx said at the time: "Luckily, due to quick action and great care, he is already on his way to recovery."
She continued: "We know how beloved he is and appreciate your prayers. The family asks for privacy during this time. Much love, The Foxx Family."

Following the incident on Tuesday, it's reported a stand-in was used in Jamie's place.
PEOPLE reported that filming was cancelled for a day following the emergency before getting back underway on Thursday.
And TMZ claimed Jamie still has eight days of filming left to complete. However, the outlet says it has had conflicting reports as to what will happen with his remaining scenes.
According to the publication, sources from on-set are saying that although it's unclear as to when Jamie will - or can - return, plans are in place to wrap up the recordings by next week.
The Mirror has contacted production representatives for comment.
