Jamie Foxx Is Filled With 'Pure Joy' After Opening Up About Mysterious Health Scare At A Show

Jamie Foxx is happy and filled with "pure joy" after finally talking about the health scare that left him sidelined for months last year.

Details about the actor's health scare were kept under wraps at the time, but his daughter Corinne attributed it to a "medical complication." In July, he said the incident began with a “bad headache,” and then he was “gone for 20 days.”

Jamie Foxx has since made a full recovery and was recently seen on a romantic dinner date with girlfriend Alyce Huckstepp.

On Monday, Foxx took to his Instagram account to share his joy after opening up about his prolonged 2023 hospitalization in his emotional one-man show, "One More Chance: An Evening with Jamie Foxx."

Sharing snaps from the event, he wrote, "God is good…. As I post these pictures, my heart and my soul is filled with nothing but pure joy…on October 3 fourth and fifth I had an opportunity to tell my side of the story and there was no better place than Atlanta Georgia.”

Emotions visibly ran high at Foxx's Atlanta show as he can be seen holding up one arm while bending his head. In another snap, he was shown wiping his arm across his face, and in a third, he sat behind a piano and spoke to the crowd.

Foxx continued, "I have to thank you Atlanta you showed up and you showed out, I haven’t been on stage in 18 years but I needed the stage and I needed an audience that was made up of nothing but pure love and that’s what you were."

He added that when people asked him if his show was a "stand-up comedy show," he'd say, "No, it’s an artistic explanation."

"Of something that went terribly wrong, but thanks to the great people in Atlanta, especially Piedmont Hospital, you enabled me to come back and be on stage and do what I love to do the most…,” Foxx continued.

Several fans and celebrities alike took to the comment section of his post to celebrate with him and wish him well on his return to performing on stage.

Rapper Busta Rhymes said, “Who God Bless, No man Curse!! CONGRATS @iamjamiefoxx, you have truly been missed by so many of us, King.”

Singer John Legend said, "Can't wait to see it, brother," while comedian Kevin Hart wrote, "Love you man!!! Can't wait to see it."

A fan wrote, "Welcome back on stage, King Foxx. Good to see you back in health... Remember, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger."

"It was beautiful to see this. Can't wait for the world to see!" an attendee wrote.

In a video posted online, Foxx was recorded speaking to a group of people in downtown Phoenix, sharing details about his health scare last year, which left him hospitalized and kept him out of the public eye for weeks.

The 56-year-old actor stated that on April 11, 2023, he had a "bad headache," which made him ask his "boy for [an] Advil."

He then snapped his fingers and stated that he was "gone for 20 days" afterward and "couldn't remember anything."

"So they told me I'm in Atlanta, they told me, my sister, my daughter took me to the first doctor," Foxx said. The actor then spoke to a woman beside him; however, what he told her was inaudible.

"Next doctor said, 'something going on up there," Foxx continued, pointing at his head.

"I won't say it on camera," he added while gesturing to the person videoing him, causing the other people to laugh.

The 56-year-old actor has since made a full recovery from his health scare and was recently seen enjoying a romantic dinner date in L.A. with his girlfriend Alyce Huckstepp, per the Daily Mail.

Foxx was seen holding hands with Huckstepp as they left Catch Steak restaurant in the City of Angels before entering his flashy red Ferrari F8 and driving away.

The "Day Shift" actor kept things casual in an all-black ensemble, wearing a hoodie and matching joggers. He also sported white sneakers with a gray and black animal-print pattern and completed the look with dark sunglasses.

His fitness model girlfriend wore a tight-fitting, cropped mock-neck sweater with white stripes running down the sleeves. She paired it with matching skintight pants and patent leather platforms and carried a leather jacket and a polka dot purse in one hand.

It comes after Foxx went through an emotional father-daughter moment as he walked his daughter, Corinne, down the aisle at her wedding to college sweetheart Joe Hooten.

According to the Daily Mail, Foxx and Corinne enjoyed a sweet father-daughter dance several months after she was forced to stay by his side at the hospital due to his "medical complication," that left him in a 20-day coma and rendered him immobile at the time.

Reminiscing on her wedding day back in May, Corinne told Access Hollywood that she was "hoping" Foxx could "get down the aisle without crying."

"I don't think he's going to make it! He's really excited, though," she said at the time.

Corinne and Hooten met while she attended USC, where she earned a degree in public relations, and he earned a degree in film & TV production.

After they got engaged in December, Foxx said they were "a perfect example of what being in love is... You care about each other's life, mental and physical... and you have each other's back."
