<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jamie-foxx-says-he-will-open-up-about-his-serious-health-scare-at-stand-up-show">Jamie Foxx</a> finally revealed that the mystery illness that led to him being in a coma for more than two weeks in 2023 was &#8220;a brain bleed that led to a stroke.&#8221;
During Foxx’s new Netflix special “What Had Happened Was,” the 56-year-old comedian became emotional at times, as he admitted doctors still “don’t know exactly what happened” to him, but were able to identify that he suffered a stroke a year ago, NPR <a href="https://www.npr.org/2024/12/10/nx-s1-5213726/jamie-foxx-netflix-special">reported</a>.
Foxx said that on the day it happened, he was dealing with a “bad headache,&#8221; and then he was &#8220;out,” not recalling anything that happened for the next 20 days. He credited his sister, Deidre Dixon, for realizing something was wrong and getting him to the hospital right away.

The Award-winning actor said a &#8220;cool doctor in a Los Angeles Lakers jersey” told Dixon that her brother was &#8220;having a brain bleed that has led to a stroke, and if I don&#8217;t go into his head right now, we&#8217;re going to lose him.”
Foxx said after the doctors performed surgery, they told Dixon that “he may be able to make a full recovery, but it&#8217;s going to be the worst year of his life,&#8221; after they confirmed the stroke, but were unable to find the source of the bleed.
&#8220;Your life doesn&#8217;t flash before your face,&#8221; Foxx told the audience in the special. &#8220;It was kind of oddly peaceful. I say this all the time, I saw the tunnel, I didn&#8217;t see the light.&#8221;

&#8220;I was fighting for my life, but I&#8217;m here in front of you!&#8221; the <a href="https://www.goodmorningamerica.com/culture/story/jamie-foxx-hospitalized-brain-bleed-stoke-new-comedy-special-116631990?utm_source=instagram&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=likeshopme&amp;utm_content=www.instagram.com/p/DDZwnD7NmGn">comedian</a> added, while noting that doctors were afraid &#8220;we&#8217;re going to lose him&#8221; because his vitals were bad.
He also reflected on his faith and said it felt like a sign that he wasn’t taking his blessings from God seriously enough. At one point, Foxx led the room in a round of “God is good. All the time.&#8221;
The reveal comes more than a year after the actor was hospitalized in April 2023 for what, at the time, was described as a “medical complication” by his daughter, actress Corrine Foxx, in a post on Instagram.
In Corrine’s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/actor-jamie-foxx-hospitalized-due-to-medical-complication">original post</a>, she wrote, “From the Foxx Family: We wanted to share that, my father, Jamie Foxx, experienced a medical complication yesterday. Luckily, due to quick action and great care, he is already on his way to recovery. We know how beloved he is and appreciate your prayers. The family asks for privacy during this time. Much love, The Foxx Family.”
Since that time, very little information as to what Foxx went through those weeks in the hospital had been released.
