Jamie Foxx has spoken out about his health scare in 2023.
The actor is in attendance at this evening’s Golden Globes (January 5), and stopped to chat to Entertainment Tonight on his way in.
Foxx was asked how he’s been doing since his medical emergency is 2023, which turned out to be a bleed on the brain that lead to the 56-year-old having a stroke.
The actor almost died in the scary ordeal, but seems to have now made a full recovery.
Speaking about his experience, Foxx gushed about his daughters – Corinne and Anelise – who ‘stepped up’ in his time of need.
He also recalled something one of his nurses in Atlanta told him while he was being cared for.
The nurse described him as a ‘five percenter-er’, meaning that less than five percent of the people who have what happened to him walk out of the hospital.
“When I saw it was you, I rolled my sleeves up,” the nurse apparently said.
Foxx thanked her after she said this, but she proceeded to question him on what he was thanking her for.
She said to the actor: “Why you thanking me? You’re not special. I roll my sleeves up for everybody that comes in here.”
Her sentiments made Foxx realize that the fame and big awards evenings don’t matter in the grand scheme of things, but being healthy and well is the important thing.
The actor became sick while shooting his new action movie Back In Action with Cameron Diaz.
The highly anticipated movie, which is Diaz’s first in over a decade, hits Netflix on January 17.
