Jamie Foxx, in April 2023, ended up in the hospital for many days. No one knew what was happening to him. The family informed that the situation was serious and that it was a "health collapse." The actor finally revealed more.

Jamie Foxx was in the middle of filming a new production for Netflix when he suddenly experienced a "health collapse" and was taken to a hospital in Atlanta. No one knew what was happening with the actor. The family consistently refused to provide information about his condition. However, media reports indicated that Foxx was in very bad shape. It was only after a few months that he slowly began to reveal what had happened, albeit without specifics. "Actually, I couldn't walk for six months," he said at the end of 2023.

The actor was recorded talking about his difficult experience to a small group of people he met in Phoenix. "It started with a terrible headache. I asked a friend for Advil, and then I was out for 20 days. I don't remember anything," Foxx said about what happened on April 11, 2023. When he woke up in the hospital, his loved ones told him he was in Atlanta. He was cared for by his sister and daughter. "They told me I got a cortisone shot," the actor recalled.

"According to the doctors, something is happening here," Foxx said, pointing to his head. "But I'm not going to say it on camera," he added after a moment.

Although he revealed much more this time, he ultimately did not share information about the diagnosis with his fans. He spoke earlier about why he guards information about his condition and the medical complications that arose in April of that year:
