Jamie Foxx offers some details on last year’s health scare

Jamie Foxx still isn’t divulging much information about his health scare last year. Though he was hospitalized for nearly a month, the Oscar winner has remained tight-lipped on his extended absence from his numerous professions. Speaking outside the Hyatt Regency in downtown Phoenix, Arizona, Foxx gave what appears to be an impromptu health update to a group of lucky Phoenician onlookers. The clip, posted to TikTok by motivational speaker Dr. Brenda Combs, sees Foxx going into greater detail on the episode, explaining that he lost his memory during the worst of it.

“Look, April 11 last year—bad headache. I asked my boy for an Advil,” Foxx said before pausing and snapping his fingers, “I was gone for 20 days. I don’t remember anything.” He picks up the story, saying his sister Diedra Dixon and daughter Corinne Foxx took him to a doctor in Atlanta, who gave him a cortisone shot. Foxx then pointed to his head and said the next doctor told him, “There’s something going on up there.”
