Jamie Foxx experienced a mysterious illness in April 2023 that left him comatose for three weeks, starting with a severe headache on April 11.
Foxx recounted the onset of his illness while in downtown Phoenix, Arizona, mentioning he requested an Advil for the headache before losing consciousness for an extended period.
During his stay in Atlanta, his sister and daughter took him to multiple doctors for diagnosis and treatment.
Initially, a doctor administered a cortisone shot to alleviate symptoms, but subsequent medical consultations indicated a more serious underlying condition.
The health scare occurred while Foxx was filming "Back in Action," his upcoming Netflix movie co-starring Cameron Diaz.
His daughter, Corrine Foxx, first publicly disclosed his illness on Instagram the day after he was hospitalized, assuring followers that he was on the road to recovery.
Corrine Foxx later updated fans that her father had been out of the hospital for weeks and had resumed activities like playing pickleball.
Jamie Foxx shared poignant reflections on his health journey during his acceptance speech for the Vanguard Award at the Critics Choice Association's Celebration of Cinema & Television Honoring Black, Latino & AAPI Achievements in December.
