Last year, Jamie Foxx experienced a serious health scare that led to an emergency hospitalization while he was on location in Atlanta, filming the new Netflix action comedy, “Back in Action.” The details of this alarming episode were shared by Foxx himself to a group of diners in Phoenix, Arizona, a moment that was captured and widely circulated on TikTok.
In the video, Foxx recounts the onset of a severe headache, which prompted him to ask for an Advil, but the situation quickly escalated. “Look, April 11 last year, bad headache, asked my boy for an Advil. I was gone for 20 days,” he explained to the patrons. He added that his sister and daughter were quick to act, taking him to get medical help. “I don’t remember anything,” Foxx confessed. “I’m in Atlanta, they told me… my sister and my daughter took me to the first doctor. They gave me a cortisone shot.”
The complications didn’t stop there. Foxx pointed to his head and hinted at the gravity of the situation, saying, “The next doctor said, ‘There’s something going on up there. I won’t say it on camera. But it was…” This evident mystery around his condition piqued further concern among his fans and followers.
His daughter, Corinne Foxx, took to Instagram to confirm her father’s medical issues, reassuring everyone about his recovery process. “We wanted to share that my father, Jamie Foxy, experienced a medical complication yesterday. Luckily, due to quick action and great care, he is already on his way to recovery. We know how beloved he is and appreciate your prayers. The family asks for privacy during this time,” she stated.
Following his hospital stint, Foxx himself addressed his followers in an Instagram video, describing his ordeal as ‘hellish’ and explaining his decision to wait before making a public appearance. “I know a lot of people were waiting or wanting to hear an update, but to be honest with you, I didn’t want you to see me like that, man. I didn’t want you to see me with tubes running out of me and trying to figure out if I was going to make it through,” he said.
While the specifics of his illness remain undisclosed, Jamie Foxx assured everyone that his recovery is progressing well. He has remained relatively private about the exact nature of his medical complication.
As Jamie Foxy continues his recovery, his fans eagerly await more updates and wish him a speedy return to health. Representatives of Jamie Foxx have been contacted for further comments.
