Oscar winner and comedian Jamie Foxx revealed what led to his weeks-long hospitalization in Atlanta last year during the taping of his Netflix special “Jamie Foxx: What Had Happened Was…”
Foxx was hospitalized in April 2023 after what started off as a “bad headache” turned into him being rushed to the hospital. The actor previously said that he was “gone for 20 days” and that he doesn’t remember anything.
He said the doctor told his sister that “a brain bleed that has led to a stroke” and that he needed to go “in his head right now” or they would lose him.
He also said he was told that the doctor took him to an operating room and that they couldn’t find where the bleed was coming from, but he was having a stroke. “That’s what it was Atlanta,” Foxx told the crowd. “You finally got the story,”
Foxx said it wasn’t until May 4, 2023 that he woke up. He couldn’t believe that he had a stroke and thought his friend, Dave, was joking.
The comedian thanked Atlanta over and over again for the city saving his life.
