Nationwide — Jamie Foxx recently shared a shocking experience that left him hospitalized and unconscious for 20 days last year. At a Phoenix restaurant, the 56-year-old Academy Award-winning actor talked about how it all started with a simple headache.In a TikTok video posted by one of the people in the restaurant, Foxx is shown recounting the frightening experience, saying, “Look, April 11 last year, bad headache, asked my boy for an Advil.”
Then, snapping his fingers, he added, “I was gone for 20 days. I don’t remember anything.”
According to Foxx, his journey through the medical emergency involved multiple doctors and treatments.
