Jamie Foxx made a new revelation this week when he revealed fresh information about the enigmatic medical crisis that left him “gone for 20 time” next year.
Foxx was in Atlanta filming the Netflix picture” Back in Action” in April 2023 when he became incapacitated in what his child, Corinne, called a “medical problem”.
While Foxx also has n’t publicly disclosed what caused his treatment, the Oscar winning artist did provide new knowledge in , a movie shared this week on TikTok, which immediately made its way onto other social websites.
In the video, which was said to be recorded over the weekend in downtown Phoenix,  , Foxx can be heard telling a group of people he had” a bad headache” on April 11, 2023, and asked a friend for Advil.
Snapping his fingers, he then said he was suddenly “gone for 20 days”.
” I do n’t remember anything”, he told the group.
Foxx continued to claim that his sister and daughter took him to the first doctor, where they administered him a cortisone shot, an injection meant to lessen pain and reduce swelling brought on by inflammation.
But doctors eventually told him” something’s going on up there”, he said, while pointing to his head.
” I wo n’t say it on camera”, he added.
The short interaction provides additional details about the ordeal, which he , previously discussed in a video , posted on social media last July.
” I went through something that I thought I would never ever go through”, he revealed. ” I went to hell and back. Additionally, my recovery path had some potholes. But I’m coming back”.
Foxx also cited a justification for keeping the details of his illness a secret.
” To be honest with you, I just did n’t want you to see me like that”, he said.
Another update came last August in another , social media post.
” You’re lookin at a man who is thankful… finally startin to feel like myself … it’s been an unexpected dark journey… but I can see the light”, he captioned a series of photos of himself.
In March, during the African American Film Critics Association’s Special Achievement Awards luncheon, Foxx teased how he was planning to publicly divulge more information about what happened.
” Everybody wants to know what happened, and I’m going to tell you what happened. But I’ve gotta do it in my way”, the” Ray” star said. ” I’m gonna do it in a funny way. We’re gonna be on the stage. We’re gonna get back to the stand- up sort of roots”.
” Back in Action” — which marks an on- camera reunion for Foxx and Cameron Diaz — , is currently in postproduction , but is set to premiere later this year.
