Jamie Foxx emotionally reflects on his health struggle during his first public appearance #shorts
Jamie Foxx is ready to open up about the medical emergency that left him hospitalized and fighting for his life last year — in a special filming for Netflix.
In April 2023, the Oscar and Grammy winner was sidelined by a sudden, serious medical complication and was hospitalized in Atlanta. No official cause has been released, though Foxx has hinted at the severity of his condition in the months since. Foxx recently revealed (via Art of Dialogue) that it started with a "severe headache," but that he was then "gone for 20 days" and woke up with no memory of what happened.
Earlier this year, while being honored by the African American Film Critics Association, Foxx revealed that he would finally tell the world what happened to him, but that he planned to do it “in a funny way.”
