Actor Jamie Foxx reveals he suffered a brain bleed and a stroke in 2023

 Jamie Foxx has opened up about the medical emergency he faced last year, revealing that he had a brain bleed that led to a stroke. The Hollywood star detailed the struggles he had with his health last year in a Netflix special released on Tuesday titled: Jamie Foxx: What Had Happened Was. It is a mystery, he said. We still dont know exactly what happened to me. April 11, I was having a bad headache and I asked my boy for an aspirin. And I realized quickly that when youre in a medical emergency, your boys dont know what the f**k to do, he said. Before I could get the aspirin I went out, he said. I dont remember 20 days. Foxx thanked his sister, who he said was 4 foot 11 of nothing but pure love, for driving him around Atlanta to find a hospital. They ended up at Piedmont Hospital, where a doctor told them that Foxx was having a brain bleed that had led to a stroke and that he would die without an operation, the actor said.  After the operation, doctors said that Foxx might make a full recovery but its going to be the worst year of his life, Foxx recounted.  Foxxs family kept him out of the public eye because he was so dizzy that his head would bob around and his daughter was concerned that people would turn him into an internet meme if they saw his condition, he said.  On May 4, he remembers waking up in a wheelchair and not being able to walk, and reacting in shock when his friend told him hed had a stroke.  Jamie Foxx dont get strokes, the actor remembered saying. He was then flown to Chicago for rehab, where he says he was told to drop the arrogant act if he wanted to make a full recovery. The actor was hospitalized in April 2023 after having a then-undisclosed health crisis while filming a Netflix film in Atlanta.  At the time of his hospitalization, his daughter Corinne Foxx said on social media that her father had suffered a medical complication.  In July 2023, Foxx posted an Instagram video update in which he addressed the speculation about what led to his hospitalization, although he did not reveal details of what happened. I know a lot of people were waiting or wanting to hear updates but to be honest with you, I just didnt want you to see me like that, man, he said in the video. I want you to see me laughing, having a good time, partying, cracking a joke, doing a movie, or television show. I didnt want you to see me with tubes running out of me and trying to figure out if I was gonna make it through. Foxx shared another health update on his verified social media in August 2023. Youre looking at a man who is thankful finally startin to feel like myself he wrote at the time. Its been an unexpected dark journey but I can see the light.The post Actor Jamie Foxx reveals he suffered a brain bleed and a stroke in 2023 appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
