Jamie Foxx<\/strong><\/a> had a frightening medical scare in 2023 when he was hospitalized<\/a> for a mystery illness. While the actor has kept most of the details of his condition under wraps, he did reveal what happened to him leading up to his hospitalization, and he has kept fans updated on his health since then<\/a>.<\/p>\n Jamie\u2019s eldest daughter, Corinne Foxx<\/strong>, announced her father\u2019s hospitalization on April 12, 2023, via a statement on Instagram.<\/p>\n \u201cWe wanted to share that my father, Jamie Foxx, experienced a medical complication yesterday,\u201d she wrote. \u201cLuckily due to quick action and great care he is already on his way to recovery. We know how beloved he is and appreciate your prayers. The family asks for privacy during this time.\u201d<\/p>\n At the time, Jamie was in Atlanta filming his Netflix action comedy Back in Action<\/em> with Cameron Diaz<\/strong>. Production on the movie continued while he was in the hospital. Additionally, Nick Cannon<\/strong> temporarily replaced him as the host of the Fox musical game show Beat Shazam<\/em>.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s awake,\u201d Nick told Entertainment Tonight<\/em><\/a> on April 23, 2023, in an update on Jamie\u2019s health amid the replacement news. \u201cThey say he\u2019s alert, so we love it. That\u2019s family right there.\u201d<\/p>\n The Baby Driver star has not disclosed what illness caused him to be hospitalized. However, Jamie was captured on video telling a group of fans at an outdoor caf\u00e9 in Phoenix that it all started with a \u201cbad headache.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI asked my boy for an Advil,\u201d he said before snapping his fingers, as seen in the video shared by The Art of Dialogue<\/em> on X<\/a> on July 1, 2024. \u201cI was gone for 20 days. I don\u2019t remember anything.\u201d<\/p>\n Jamie continued, \u201cSo they told me \u2014 I\u2019m in Atlanta \u2014 so they told me my sister and my daughter took me to the first doctor. They gave me a cortisone shot. The next doctor said something\u2019s going on up there. I won\u2019t say it on camera.\u201d<\/p>\n Jamie broke his silence on his health scare in a July 22, 2023, post on Instagram. \u201cI want to say thank you to everybody that\u2019s prayed, man, and sent me messages. I cannot even begin to tell you how far it took me and how it brought me back,\u201d he said in a video. \u201cI went through something I thought I would never ever go through.\u201d<\/p>\n He added, \u201cI want you to see me laughing, having a good time, partying, cracking a joke, doing a movie [or] television show. I didn\u2019t want you to see me with tubes running out of me and trying to figure out if I was going to make it through.\u201d<\/p>\n The comedian thanked his daughter and sister Deidra Dixon<\/strong> for their quick action in getting him medical assistance and also cleared up some rumors about his condition.<\/p>\n \u201cBy being quiet sometimes things get out of hand,\u201d he told his fans. \u201cPeople saying what I got, some people said I was blind, but as you can see \u2026 the eyes are working just fine. Said I\u2019m paralyzed \u2014 I\u2019m not paralyzed. But I did go through \u2026 I went to hell and back. And my road to recovery had some potholes as well. But I\u2019m coming back. And I\u2019m able to work.\u201d<\/p>\n A source exclusively told Life & Style<\/em> in November 2023 that Jamie was \u201cbeing very careful\u201d<\/a> after his health scare.<\/p>\n \u201cHe may not be at 100 percent, but the last thing he wants is to mess with the progress he has made,\u201d the insider said. \u201cJamie hasn\u2019t had any major setbacks recently, but still, he doesn\u2019t want to overdo it. He feels better than he has in months, and he owes that to ongoing physical therapy.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nWhen Was Jamie Foxx Hospitalized?<\/h2>\n
