Jamie Foxx Opens Up About Brain Bleed and Stroke in New Netflix Special

Jamie Foxx has opened up about his health scare in 2023, revealing that a brain bleed led to a stroke, which resulted in him being hospitalized for several weeks. In a new Netflix special, the 56-year-old actor shared the details of his medical emergency, explaining that it all started with a severe headache on April 11, 2023.

Foxx recounted asking his friend for an aspirin to relieve the pain, only to lose consciousness before he could take it. “I went out, and I do not remember 20 days,” he said, explaining that he “blacked out” and woke up to find himself in a wheelchair, unable to walk.
