After being hospitalized for a “medical complication” in April, Jamie Foxx has spoken out for the first time. “First and foremost, I want to thank everyone who has prayed, man, and sent me messages,” he said in an extended three-minute video shared on his Instagram on Friday. “I hardly begin at all to tell you how far it took me and how far it brought me back.” While shooting the Netflix film Back in Action in Atlanta, Corinne Foxx revealed that her father had been hospitalised but was “already on his way to recovery”. She didn’t give many specifics about the health scare at the time. Foxx has also stayed mostly out of the spotlight afterwards, missing public appearances such as the screening of They Cloned Tyrone in June. He was photographed on a yacht earlier this month, in one of his first confirmed public outings in months. Corinne did provide a status report on her father’s rehabilitation in May, following media allegations that his family was bracing for the worst. In fact, he was playing pickleball yesterday after he came out of the hospital several weeks ago” she said at the time on Instagram. Thank you for your prayers and support!”
In Friday’s video, the Oscar winner also didn’t divulge much about the incident, but he did say, “I went through stuff that I assumed I would never have to go through.” “I know a lot of individuals were waiting or hoping for updates, but to be straight with you, I just didn’t want you to see me like that man,” he added. “I want you to see me giggling, having a great time partying, making a joke, acting in a movie or on television.” I didn’t want you to see me with tubes coming out of me, wondering if I was going to make it.” The God Is a Bullet actor goes on to thank his sister and daughter for their support during his rehabilitation, claiming they “saved my life.” “To them, to God, to a lot of outstanding medical people, I’m able to leave you this video,” he continued. You can’t imagine how wonderful it is to have your family come through so strongly, and to know that they kept everything airtight, they protected me, and that’s what I wish everyone could have in times like these.” In the video, Foxx also addressed rumours on social media that he was “blind” or “paralysed.” Foxx ended the video by thanking all of his followers for their ongoing prayers, love, and support.
