Jamie Foxx shares new details from last year’s medical emergency: “Something’s going on up there”
Jamie Foxx has shared some information about his medical emergency last year. See what the actor had to say below.
In April 2023, the Oscar-winning actor was hospitalised after suffering an unspecified health emergency when he was filming his new Netflix movie Back In Action. Details about the nature of his medical complication still remain unknown.
Now, in a video shared on social media, Foxx was filmed speaking to a small group of fans in downtown Phoenix, where he recapped what had happened to him. “April 11 last year, I had a bad headache, asked my boy for an Advil,” Foxx began in the clip, snapping his fingers. “I was gone for 20 days. I don’t remember anything.”

He continued: “So, I’m in Atlanta, my sister and my daughter took me to the first doctor. He said ‘Nah’, gave me a cortisone shot. Next doctor said, ‘Something’s going on up there.’ I won’t say it on camera.” The video clip ends there.
Foxx’s detailing of his ordeal comes after the actor’s daughter Corinne recently provided an update on her father’s wellbeing. Foxx recently returned to work on the musical game show, Beat Shazam, which he hosts with Corinne, as well as his new film Back In Action, which was interrupted due to his medical emergency. The actor was spotted back on the set of the film in January, along with his co-star Cameron Diaz.
In August last year, Foxx took to Instagram to provide an update on his health, telling his followers that he was “finally starting to feel like myself”.
“You’re lookin at a man who is thankful,” he wrote. “Finally startin to feel like myself… it’s been an unexpected dark journey… but I can see the light… I’m thankful to everyone that reached out and sent well wishes and prayers…”
“I have a lot of people to thank… u just don’t know how much it meant… I will be thanking all of you personally… and if you didn’t know… GOD IS GOOD… all day every day…”
The actor has made a few public appearances since his hospitalisation. The first came in mid July when he was seen waving at fans while riding a yacht down the Chicago river. Around the same time, he was also recorded saving a woman’s purse in Chicago, Illinois.
In December 2023, the actor appeared at an award ceremony hosted by Critics Choice Association, where accepted the Vanguard Award. In his emotional, 12-minute speech, Foxx told the audience that he “saw the tunnel” during his spate of illness.
