Jamie Foxx Opens Up About Mysterious Illness that Hospitalized Him

Jamie Foxx’s revelation about his mysterious illness last April has left fans shocked and concerned. The 56-year-old actor shared details of his harrowing experience in a video posted on X (formerly Twitter) by The Art of the Dialogue.

Foxx recalled the day his health crisis began, stating that he initially had a bad headache on April 11th last year. He asked a friend for an Advil, but things quickly escalated, and he was hospitalized for 20 days. The actor admitted that he has no memory of those 20 days, leaving many wondering about the severity of his condition.

The actor also shared details about the medical treatment he received during his illness. He mentioned that his sister and daughter took him to the first doctor, who administered a cortisone shot to relieve his pain and swelling. Foxx then alluded to a more serious diagnosis from another doctor, hinting at a health issue in his head without providing further details.

Despite the seriousness of his illness, Foxx expressed gratitude for his sister Deidra, whom he credited with saving his life during the crisis. He took to Instagram to thank her for the decisions she made that ultimately led to his recovery.

On a brighter note, Foxx has returned to the FOX competition show Beat Shazam after missing a season due to his illness. He has also hinted at a return to stand-up comedy, where he plans to address his health scare and share his story with fans. Foxx’s comeback is eagerly awaited by fans, who are eager to see him back on stage doing what he does best.
