Jamie Foxx expressed gratitude to all those who prayed for him and sent him messages during his recent health scare. In an Instagram video on Saturday, July 22, the 55-year-old actor shared an update on his prognosis and reflected on the journey he went through. Foxx revealed that he had experienced a challenging ordeal that he never thought he would face. Despite knowing that many people were eager for updates, he chose not to show his vulnerable state to the public.
He continued, "I want you to witness my laughter, my enjoyment at parties, my humor in cracking jokes, my performances in movies and television shows. I didn't want you to witness me with tubes attached to my body, struggling to determine if I would survive."
In April, it was announced in the news that the acclaimed actor of "Ray" had been admitted to the hospital due to a "medical complication." Foxx's eldest daughter, Corinne Foxx, confirmed this alarming news on Instagram, assuring everyone that he was already making progress towards recovery.
Jamie, along with his sister Deidra Dixon and his doctors, have played a crucial role in saving his life. He expressed his gratitude for his family's support and protection during this challenging time. Despite rumors and speculations about his health, Jamie reassured everyone that his vision is intact and functioning perfectly.

Jamie concluded his heartfelt video message with a message of gratitude to all his supporters.
"I deeply cherish every person and the immense love I have received," he said, his voice filled with emotion. "If you happen to encounter me from now on and occasionally witness me tearing up, it is simply because I have faced tough times. I battled illness, but now I have regained my strength, and you will see me active again. I want you to remember me for the laughter I bring through my jokes, the films I create - some of them even remarkable - and the melodies I sing."
The comedian was discharged from the hospital in May and has been steadily recovering ever since.
Jamie is showing significant improvement and is regaining a sense of his true self. Although he is not fully recovered and remains cautious in his activities, he is undeniably making progress towards recovery. According to an exclusive source, Jamie has a substantial support network surrounding him to ensure that he does not overwhelm himself by shouldering too much too quickly.
Many well-known friends of the Oscar winner expressed their solidarity and encouragement on his Instagram post on Saturday, demonstrating their continued support for his ongoing journey to wellness.
"When I see you again, I'm going to give you the biggest embrace," responded Dwayne Johnson enthusiastically, followed by well wishes from celebrities like Justin Timberlake, Will Smith, and LL Cool J. Showing her affection, Corinne expressed, "Dad, I love you."
