‘I was gone for 20 days’: Jamie Foxx on ‘medical emergency’

Jamie Foxx has revealed some of the details behind the “medical emergency” that left him in hospital last year.

The Oscar-winning star was filmed chatting to fans in downtown Phoenix, appearing to answer a question about his mystery health scare.

In the short video, shared on TikTok by a fan called Dr Brenda Combs, Foxx can be seen wearing white shorts and a black T-shirt outside a café.

The 56-year-old said: “April 11 last year, bad headache, I asked my boy for an Advil,” then clicking his fingers went on, “I was gone for 20 days. I don’t remember anything.”

He then explained: “So, they told me, I’m in Atlanta, they told me, my sister and my daughter, they took me to the first doctor.

“Next doctor said, ‘Something going on up there’, at which point Foxx points up to his head.

He concluded, “I won’t say it on camera,” looking towards the person filming him talking.

The Django Unchained star was reportedly taken ill in Atlanta while filming a movie with Cameron Diaz called Back In Action.
