Jamie Foxx reveals he had a stroke in 2023

Hollywood star Jamie Foxx has revealed the cause of his hospital ission in April last year.

Speaking during a Netflix special, the Django Unchained star told the audience he'd suffered a "brain bleed that led to a stroke".

He said he had a bad headache one day and asked for an aspirin but before he could take it, he "went out (blacked out). I don't 20 days".

At the time, his daughter Corinne Foxx said he had experienced a "medical complication" but the family did not share details about his health issues.

In an emotional chat with the audience for Jamie Foxx: What Had Happened Was..., recorded in Atlanta, the city where he was working when he fell ill, Foxx said he was initially sent home by medics after being given a cortisone injection.

His sister then came over to see him and felt that he wasn't himself so she took him in her car to Piedmont Hospital.

It was then that a doctor told him he was having a brain bleed that had led to a stroke, adding: "If I don't go in his head right now, we're going to lose him."

He said his sister prayed the whole time during his operation outside the theatre.

Doctors couldn't locate the origin of the brain bleed.

Foxx also told the audience that "your life doesn't flash before your face, it was kind of oddly peaceful, I saw a tunnel, I didn't see the light."

He joked: "It was hot in that tunnel, am I going to the wrong place":[]}
