Academy Award winning actor, Grammy winning singer and comedian says he “went to hell and back” but is recovering from an undisclosed medical condition. Foxx made his first public comments in an Instagram message posted on Friday, July 21, 2023 after being hospitalized in April.
“You all saved my life just 400 yards from here at Piedmont Hospital,” he told the audience at the 650-seat Alliance Theatre. “They put me back together again. God be the glory!” “Atlanta saved my life,” he added. “The internet tried to kill me though. They said I was paralyzed. But look at me now!”Foxx, now 56, was shooting a film called “Back in Action” with Cameron Diaz in Atlanta in April, 2023 when he got sick and ended up hospitalized for more than two weeks.
During the special, he said while at Piedmont, “They said at one point, the first 15 days, they thought they were going to lose me because my vitals were out of control. There was a 13- or 14-day period where they said, ‘We’ve gotta keep him calm and we’ve given him every medication that they could. It’s not working. We gotta keep him calm because his vitals are so high we’re going to lose him.’”But Foxx said “a miracle happened, and that miracle was working through my youngest daughter.
