Foxx was hospitalized in April 2023 when Back in Action was nearing the end of production. There were rumors of a troubled production happening behind the scenes; however, Diaz discredited these claims when speaking on the Lipstick on the Rim podcast, via People, in December 2023.

“I really hate all of the things that were being said about our set at the time,” Diaz said at the time. “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. We have so much fun on the set with him and he’s just a professional on every level.”
