Jamie Foxx, the Academy Award-winning actor, revealed new details about his 2023 medical scare during an interview at the Critics Choice Association Awards in December 2023. The incident occurred while he was filming 'Back In Action' and left him unable to walk for several months.
Foxx shared that he had a headache on April 11, 2023, and asked for an Advil from a friend. However, things took a turn when he lost consciousness shortly after taking the medication. His sister and daughter took him to the first doctor who dismissed his symptoms with a cortisone shot.
The second doctor recognized that something was wrong but did not specify what it was. Foxx remained in the hospital for 20 days, during which he had no memory of what happened.
In December 2023, Foxx accepted the Vanguard Award at the Critics Choice Association Awards Celebration of Cinema and Television Honoring Black, Latino and AAPI Achievements. He expressed his gratitude for being alive and cherishing every moment since his recovery.
Despite the health scare, Foxx has continued to work on various projects. He is set to appear in a Mike Tyson biopic and will work with Robert De Niro and Scott Eastwood in 'Tin Soldier.'
Foxx was born Eric Marlon Bishop and changed his name as a tribute to comedian Redd Foxx. He has two daughters, Corinne and Anelise.
