BBG News

As an ardent admirer of Jamie Foxx, I find myself deeply moved and inspired by his extraordinary journey through life and artistry. The latest revelation about his health scare and subsequent coma only serves to deepen my respect for him as a person. It’s heartening to know that even in the face of adversity, he remains resilient, using humor and laughter as powerful tools for healing.

According to someone who attended the live recording, Jamie Foxx disclosed that he had been in a coma during his recent health emergency while working on his latest Netflix special.

56-year-old Academy Award winner Jamie Foxx shot his forthcoming show, named “Jamie Foxx: What Actually Transpired…”, in Atlanta, Georgia, during the month of October.

An attendee named Demecos Chambers told People magazine on Friday that Jamie told the audience he was ‘literally seconds and moments away from death’ when he collapsed in April 2023.

Demecos commented about the mature performer on stage, saying, “It seemed like sheer fatigue. Aging had taken its toll on his body, causing it to weaken and eventually fail.

At the moment when Jamie had a medical incident, he was in Georgia shooting his forthcoming Netflix production titled “Back In Action” alongside Cameron Diaz. However, it’s important to note that he didn’t experience a collapse while working on the movie’s set.

Demecos explained: ‘When he passed out, he thought he was just out for a few moments.

Initially, it seemed like he fainted inside an elevator and assumed he regained consciousness after a couple of hours. However, the truth is, he wasn’t fully awake then; instead, he remained unconscious in a coma for several weeks before finally waking up.

In the crowd, it was disclosed that one of Jamie’s daughters, either Corrine (age 30) or Annalise (age 16), plays the guitar for their dad.

Demecos mentioned: “She regularly plays one of their favorite tunes every day, or something similar. He also stated that was the sole thing he could remember hearing while asleep, which seemed to help him emerge from his coma.

Later, it was disclosed that upon waking up, Jamie found himself at a rehabilitation center. He needed to focus on improving his motor functions since he essentially had to begin anew in this area.

Jamie’s enthusiasts can anticipate that his distinctive wit will play a substantial role in the program, even though some of the subject matter might be quite serious.

Demecos said: ‘While he’s telling the story, he’s throwing bits in there left and right.

‘It’s stand-up comedy. He’s dancing a little bit. He’s playing songs on the piano.’

In an upcoming special, Jamie will express heartfelt thanks to those who prayed and offered support during his recovery process. His heartfelt performance serves as a moving tribute to his loyal fans.

In the latest preview of the upcoming special, the multiple award-winning comedian, known for her wit and charm, expresses her joy by saying: ‘It’s me again, and I couldn’t be happier to be with you all. I’m just thrilled to be here.’

Appearing to then reveal what happened to him, he teases: ‘What had happened was…’

But before Jamie gets into it, the trailer comes to a dramatic stop.

Sharing the trailer on his social media, Jamie encouraged his followers to ‘come hear my story.’

And the teaser is already resonating with the Law Abiding Citizen actor’s fans, who were so moved that they said they had chills.

On Jamie’s Instagram post, someone commented: ‘Absolutely yes! This is the advertisement I’ve been anticipating!’

‘Goose bumps!!!!!!!’ another added while a third wrote, ‘Just got chills brother.’

A fourth continued: ‘I cannot wait!! Literally so excited for this.’

As a lifestyle enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share some exciting news! On December 10th, the much-anticipated special is landing on Netflix, and it marks the highly-awaited comeback of Jamie, our beloved personality, who was previously hospitalized in 2023. Get ready to be inspired once again by his captivating presence!

In the initial sneak peek, he playfully remarked, “As long as I remain witty, I’ll keep going,” showcasing both his humorous side and openness.

‘This comedy event is a celebration of resilience, humor, and the power of community, reminding us all of the healing power of laughter,’ a synopsis previously revealed.

The upcoming comedy event is just one of many exciting ventures that the well-known actor currently has lined up. Notably, he will be starring alongside Cameron Diaz once more in the comedy film “Back in Action,” which is scheduled for release on a streaming platform, a reunion of their work from “Any Given Sunday” and “Annie.

The film is expected to begin streaming January 17, 2025.

In December 2023, Jamie made his initial appearance in public since April 2023, and he hasn’t shared specific details about the incident that caused his health scare yet.

At that point in time, the actor from Django Unchained openly shared that he had been unable to walk for six months due to a puzzling illness. He expressed that he wouldn’t want anyone, not even his greatest adversary, to endure the ordeal he experienced.

In April 2023, his daughter Corinne announced her dad was suffering from a medical complication.

Yesterday, it was shared by our family that Jamie Foxx encountered a health issue.

Thankfully, prompt actions and meticulous care have set him on the path to healing. We’re well aware of his importance in our lives and are grateful for your supportive thoughts. At present, the family requests seclusion as they navigate through this period.
