Foxx Gives Details About Why He Was Hospitalized
In an undated video that went viral on social media yesterday (July 1), the Oscar-winning actor appeared to discuss the circumstances surrounding the medical emergency that set him on a months-long road to recovery with some fans.
As we previously reported, the Django Unchained star was at a Chicago rehabilitation center that specializes in “stroke recovery, traumatic brain injury rehab, spinal cord injury rehab, and cancer rehabilitation.”
Then in December, while he was honored at the Critics Choice Association’s Celebration of Cinema & Television, Foxx, 56, said, “I’ve been through something. I’ve been through some things. It’s crazy, I couldn’t do that six months ago. I couldn’t actually walk too….,” he added as he became emotional.
In the viral clip, Foxx told fans he experienced a “bad headache” and “asked my boy for an Advil.” Then “I was gone for 20 days.” He went on, “I don’t remember anything. I’m in Atlanta … My sister and my daughter took me to the first doctor. They gave me a cortisone shot. The next doctor said, ‘There’s something going on up there.'” Foxx pointed to his head before explaining that he wouldn’t go into further details “on camera.”
Fans reacted to the clip, with some guessing what happened to Foxx. One person commented, “So, a stroke?” Another person said, “This is a clone.” A third alleged, “So his ‘buddy’ gave him fentanyl. Got it..” Another user wrote, “Definitely sounds like a stroke if he had brain aneurysm that would require brain surgery. I see now scaring of the skull that suggests he had brain surgery.”
In March, Foxx alluded to his health scare while accepting the producer’s award at the African American Film Critics Association’s awards luncheon. “Everybody wants to know what happened, and I’m going to tell you what happened, but I gotta do it in my way,” Foxx said. “I’m gonna do it in a funny way.”
“It’ll be called, What Had Happened Was, and it’s got all the things that happened, especially on our side of our community,” he said, joking about the online rumors that the “Jamie Foxx” sightings after his hospitalization weren’t, in fact, him. “I dove out of a car to save this Black woman’s purse,” he recalled. “That ain’t no damn Jamie, that’s a clone.”
