Jamie Foxx reveals he suffered a brain bleed and a stroke, says ‘I don’t remember 20 days’ 

Oscar-winning actor Jamie Foxx has shared details about the medical emergency he faced last year, revealing that he suffered a brain bleed that led to a stroke. The Hollywood star opened up about the harrowing experience in his new Netflix special, Jamie Foxx: What Had Happened Was, released on Tuesday.

Foxx recounted the frightening series of events that began on April 11, when he was struck by a severe headache. It is a mystery, he said, reflecting on the uncertainty surrounding his condition. We still don’t know exactly what happened to me.

The actor described the moment he realized he was in trouble. “I asked my boy for an aspirin because I was having a bad headache. And I quickly realized that when you’re in a medical emergency, your boys don’t know what the f**k to do, Foxx said with characteristic humor.

Before he could take the aspirin, Foxx lost consciousness. I went out, he said. I don’t remember 20 days. His condition was so severe that it left him with no recollection of the critical period following his collapse.

Foxx credited his sister, whom he affectionately described as 4 foot 11 of nothing but pure love, for saving his life. Despite the gravity of the situation, she remained calm and determined, driving him around Atlanta in search of medical care. Her quick thinking ensured he received the urgent treatment he needed.

While reflecting on the experience, Foxx expressed deep gratitude for his family and the medical professionals who supported him during his recovery. He acknowledged the profound impact the ordeal had on his perspective, emphasizing the importance of health and the unpredictable nature of life.

The revelation sheds light on the challenges Foxx faced and highlights his resilience in overcoming such a life-threatening situation. As one of Hollywood’s most versatile talents, Foxx’s return to the spotlight is a testament to his strength and determination.

With his trademark humor and honesty, Foxx used the Netflix special not only to share his story but also to inspire others to prioritize their health and appreciate the love and support of those around them. His journey serves as a reminder of the fragility of life and the power of perseverance.
