Last April, Jamie Foxx was hospitalized due to a strange illness. He has now disclosed more about the mysterious health scare that put him in the hospital.

Jamie Foxx stated that it started with a "bad headache" while he was explaining his mystery illness to a bunch of people. He said he asked his boy for Advil and eventually lost consciousness for 20 days. He said, “I don’t remember anything."
Foxx recalled waking up in Atlanta. He said that his sister Deidra Dixon and daughter Corinne Foxx took him to the first doctor, who gave him a cortisone shot to relieve his symptoms. Later on, another doctor told Foxx that there was something wrong with his head, but the actor did not elaborate on what it was.
In April 2023, Foxx's daughter announced on social media that he had a complex medical emergency. At the time, he was filming Back in Action, a Netflix action comedy opposite Cameron Diaz. He was also temporarily unavailable to host the game show Beat Shazam as he was recuperating from the health scare.

Foxx wrote to his sister, "Had you not made the decisions that you made, I would’ve lost my life."
Beat Shazam has recently seen its original star return following a mysterious illness. Though details of the illness had not been disclosed, the 56-year-old actor, in a social media post, addressed his fans, "I want you to see me laughing, having a good time, partying, cracking a joke, doing a movie, television show. I didn’t want you to see me with tubes running out of me, and trying to figure if I was gonna make it through."
He is also contemplating stand-up comedy again and has plans to discuss his health issue during one such performance.
