Jamie Foxx Speaks Out About Hospitalization For First Time In New Video To Fans

“I cannot even begin to tell you … how far it took me and how it brought me back,” the Academy Award winner said. “I went through something that I thought I would never go through.”

The “Django Unchained” actor did not specify what it was that landed him in the hospital back in April, when his family said that he had suffered a “medical complication.”

In his new video, Foxx acknowledged that “a lot of people” wanted to hear about his status.

“To be honest with you, I just didn’t want you to see me like that, man,” he said. “I wanted you to see me laughing, having a good time, partying, cracking a joke, doing a movie, a television show.”

He added that he didn’t want fans to see him “with tubes running out of me and trying to figure out if I was going to make it through.”
