Actor and comedian Jamie Foxx made a surprise appearance at the AAFCA Special Achievement Awards Luncheon, and his message was powerful and deeply personal.
Nearly a year after a mysterious health crisis left him hospitalized, Foxx opened up about his experience, revealing, “I was in dire straits.”
The 56-year-old star, visibly emotional, shared his gratitude for the people who supported him during his challenging time. “Cherish life, man,” he emphasized, highlighting the importance of appreciating each moment.
While remaining tight-lipped about the specifics of his health scare, Foxx teased a comedic reveal in the works. “Everybody wants to know what happened, and I’m gonna tell you what happened, but I gotta do it in my way,” he declared. “I’m gonna do it in a funny way. We’re gonna be on stage. We’re gonna go back to the standup sort of roots.”
Foxx’s health scare, which occurred in April 2023 while filming “Back in Action,” sparked public concern and speculation. The lack of details surrounding the incident fueled rumors online, which Foxx addressed with his signature humor. “I was drinking some water,” he joked, “Wow, you taste this water, it’s so wet… was it like this before I passed away?” He also playfully dismissed a bizarre conspiracy theory claiming he was replaced by an AI.
