Jamie Foxx Links Up With Wayne Gretzky

by

It’s been a tough few months for Jamie Foxx fans. The actor was suddenly hospitalized in April while on the set of his upcoming Netflix film, Back In Action. It was the latest in a long series of issues that had hampered production. Furthermore, the coverage of Foxx’s hospitalization was a mess, with Foxx seemingly both on the verge of death and recovering well. After many conflicting reports about his status, his daughter revealed in mid-May that he had been out of the hospital for several weeks. However, for the time being, Foxx continues to recover in private.

However, Foxx has begun to make public appearances in recent weeks. He has been seen at TopGolf as well as playing pickleball. Furthermore, John Boyega gave a positive update from the premiere of They Cloned Tyrone. “He finally picked up the phone. Thank you, bro,” Boyega said. “He’s doing well. And then, you know, we just giving him the privacy, and we can’t wait for his return.” He continued: “I gave him the well wishes directly. I gave him all the well wishes. So I’m just gonna be waiting until he comes back out here. So take your time, Jamie. We love you, bro.” Furthermore, Foxx recently threw a party to celebrate his recovery. However, a picture promoting BetMGM on Foxx’s Instagram caused some controversy.

However, more images are starting to emerge from the betting platform promotional event. Hockey legend Wayne Gretzky shared a photo of him and Foxx at the event. “Great to be in Vegas working with @iamjamiefoxx and @betmgm. One of the best nights of my life with the greatest person. Big things coming soon…,” Gretzky wrote on Instagram. It echoed the caption that Foxx put in his own post, which also noted that there were “big things coming soon.”

It’s just the most recent celebrity link-up for Gretzky. At the NBA Finals, Gretzky posted a picture with rapper Lil Wayne. Gretzky, who remains the NHL’s all-time leader in points, goals, and many other categories, shared the image to Instagram. “2 Wayne’s” read the caption as Gretzky towered over Wayne.

“Joker ain’t no joke!” someone yells as Lil Wayne rolls up to Jokić. Wayne can be heard saying “you feel me?” before their conversation is lost in the noise of the crowd. Jokić had 23 points and 12 rebounds in Denver’s 108-95 win to take a 3-1 lead as the series heads back to Denver for what could be the series-deciding Game 5. Jokić has been absolutely dominant throughout the playoffs and is the current favorite to win Finals MVP. However, he wasn’t the only famous face that Wayne encountered.

Wayne also stopped for a picture with NHL Hall of Famer Wayne Gretzky. Gretzky, who remains the NHL’s all-time leader in points, goals, and many other categories, shared the image to Instagram. “2 Wayne’s” read the caption as Gretzky towers over Wayne. It remains to be seen if Wayne will be following the series back to Denver. As mentioned, he was there for Game 2. Follow all the latest sports and celebrity news here at HotNewHipHop.
