Jamie Foxx has been open about his health crisis that occurred more than a year ago, when he was hospitalized due to a medical complication. The actor recently shared some details of his experience with fans outside a hotel in Phoenix.
Foxx revealed that the medical emergency began with a bad headache on April 11 last year. He asked for an Advil from a friend, but he had no memory of what happened after that. He spent 20 days in the hospital without any recollection of the events that transpired during that time. Foxx mentioned that his sister and daughter took him to a doctor in Atlanta, where he received a cortisone shot after the doctor noticed something concerning in his head.
The actor has teased that he plans to open up about his health crisis soon, in a funny and entertaining way on stage. Foxx hinted that the show would be called “What Had Happened Was” and would touch on the events that occurred in his community during his time of need.
In July 2019, Foxx released a video update where he acknowledged the emotional journey he had gone through during his recovery. He expressed that he didn’t want fans to see him in a vulnerable state and preferred to keep the details of his health crisis private from the public. His daughter Corinne had previously announced his hospitalization while filming a Netflix movie with Cameron Diaz in Atlanta.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding his health crisis, Foxx’s openness to sharing his experience and progress with his fans is commendable and shows how resilient he is in overcoming adversity.
It’s inspiring to see how Jamie Foxx has bounced back from such an unexpected medical complication and continues to entertain us all with his talent and charisma.
We can only hope for continued good health for this talented actor who deserves our support as he continues on this journey towards well-being.
