Jamie Foxx has finally opened up about his mysterious illness which led to his hospitalization for weeks last year. The 56-year-old actor faced a serious health condition on April 11, 2023. The actor reportedly received treatment at a Chicago rehabilitation centre. Foxx didn’t reveal much about the episode until now.
The Hollywood actor shared details of his condition in a fan video. In the viral clip, Fox is seen in conversation with a group of people and talking about his mysterious health condition. He said that it started with a ‘bad headache’. “Look, April 11 last year, bad headache, asked my boy for an Advil. I was gone 20 days. Don’t remember anything,” Foxx said.
He further mentioned that his sister and daughter took him to multiple doctors in Atlanta. “I’m in Atlanta, they told me. My sister, my daughter took me to the first doctor. Next doctor said, ‘There’s something going on up there,” he revealed.
After the initial treatment in Atlanta, the Hollywood star was reportedly shifted to a specialist facility in Chicago. Later in August, Foxx updated his fans on Instagram and wrote, “finally starting to feel like myself... it’s been an unexpected dark journey... but I can see the light.”
Earlier in July 2023, Foxx had acknowledged his mysterious health condition in an Instagram post. He said, “I went through something that I though I would never, ever go through,” before adding, “I know a lot of people were waiting or wanting to hear updates, and to be honest with yuo- I just didn’t want you to see me like that.
Before Fox, his daughter Corrine acknowledged his illness on social media in April, 2023. She wrote, “We wanted to share that, my father, Jamie Foxx, experienced a medical complication yesterday. Luckily, due to quick action and great care, he is already on his way to recovery.”
