However, while Jamie is said to be joking with his family once again, the incident is said to have left movie bosses scrambling to find the time to complete production.
The Netflix film is being produced and directed by Horrible Bosses director Seth Gordon and was initially set for release later this year.
Following the incident on Tuesday, it's reported a stand-in was used in Jamie's place.
Jamie was said to have played a huge part in bringing Cameron Diaz back in front of the cameras.
In August last year, he shared his role in getting the actress on set after convincing her that they would have a good time.
He said: "It was literally, 'Do you wanna have some fun? Just have some fun!' And I think that's what brought her to it."
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.
