Foxx took his time addressing his fans about what happened to him in April 2023. He waited until he was back to feeling healthy and looked well so that fans would not question Foxx's health status. As such, it was September 2023 before fans and the entertainment industry gained a glimpse into what Foxx endured to regain his strength to live and work again.
"I know a lot of people were waiting or wanting to hear updates but to be honest with you, I just didn’t want you to see me like that, man," Foxx explained.
"I want you to see me laughing, having a good time, partying, cracking a joke, doing a movie, television show. I didn't want you to see me with tubes running out of me and trying to figure out if I was gonna make it through."
Foxx went on to say, "I cannot tell you how great it feels to have your family kick in in such a way, and y'all know they kept it airtight, they didn’t let nothing out, they protected me, and that’s what I hope that everyone could have in moments like these."
"I went to hell and back and my road to recovery had some potholes as well. But I'm coming back and I'm able to work," Foxx continued. "I thank the people who let me work and I just want to say that I love everybody. I love all the love that I got."
Foxx concluded, "It was tough, man, I was sick, but now I've got my legs under me, so you're going to see me out... I'm on my way back."

What Heath Condition Jamie Foxx Suffered From
Jamie Foxx has never confirmed what it was that caused him to be hospitalized
It was in April 2023, that the world first learned Foxx had been hospitalized. Foxx's daughter announced via a statement that Foxx had suffered a "medical complication" but did not go into further details.
Foxx's representative confirmed that the "condition was serious enough that Jamie’s family, some of whom were not in town, came to the hospital." Again, details were not disclosed.
The lack of explanation led to several rumors about what occurred. From a COVID vaccine that led to a brain bleed that was vehemently shut down by those close to Foxx to suffering from a seizure, a blood clot in the brain, and even going blind and being paralyzed temporarily, the supposed facts about Foxx's health were all over the board.

How Jamie Foxx Is Doing Today
Jamie Foxx has returned to work and is as focused on his projects as he ever has been
As of January 2024, Foxx was seen back working in the very production that had to shut down after his mystery illness. He and Cameron Diaz were photographed on the set of Back in Action. Foxx looked healthy, fit, and much like he did before he was hospitalized, albeit "quiet" on the set.
Those working on the set claimed that Foxx was "very quiet" and "just focused on working."
This behavior was the opposite of the rumors that swirled about Foxx before his illness, which indicated that Foxx was acting "crazy" while he was on set, something that Diaz was quick to dispel before they could go too far.
"Jamie is, like, the cheerleader for the entire crew. Everybody loves him," Diaz explained. "We have so much fun on the set with him, and he's just a professional on every level."
Diaz continued saying, "I love that guy so much. He's such a special person, and he's so talented, so much fun."
With shooting wrapped for the film, Foxx has already started moving on to his next projects. It appears that despite what it was that Foxx suffered from, he is not letting it slow him down and perhaps even has a new outlook on life as a result.
