Foxx: 'I went to hell and back' from stroke

In a candid revelation, Jamie Foxx disclosed the harrowing details of a serious medical emergency he experienced in April 2023. The actor suffered a brain bleed that resulted in a stroke, an event he described as going "to hell and back." He recounted experiencing a severe headache, which led to him losing consciousness for nearly three weeks.

Foxx, who is expecting his first child with girlfriend Alyce Huckstepp, addressed earlier rumors about his health. He clarified that he was neither blind nor paralyzed, emphasizing his ability to work again. The star expressed profound gratitude for his family's unwavering support, noting their efforts to protect his privacy during his recovery.

The "Back in Action" star further elaborated on his condition in the Netflix special "Jamie Foxx: What Had Happened Was." He explained that the medical complication occurred while he was filming, and he wished to be seen laughing and working rather than during his most vulnerable moments. His recovery journey, he admitted, was not without its challenges.
