People have no true idea what he's gone & is still going through. The struggle to walk again, issues with memory & impulse control. I am SO PROUD of what he's done but even moreso of his family who kept him safe during his recovery. Truly heartwarming!

[@killed_by_the_architect-829]

You're right people have no idea becasue no one is saying. It's a little hard to understand something someone is going through when they wont say what it is.

[@Desnes7]

No u right. That's a talent to command a stage/ audience EASILY

What do you think happened to him, kembal? Why doesn’t he just tell everyone? Can you think of any other celebrities who so publicly disappeared but then refuse to even hint at why?

[@dianeross4522]

@a5dr3 I don't know about celebrities but humans I know a few who wouldn't. My dad, mom, two of my cousins. Some humans are just that way. Then there are the ones that talk eventually when they are ready. Some even wait until they write a book or put it in a journal. Then there are the ones who die with it...😊 Ain't life interesting.

White as I am, I genuinely prayed for him because he really is an amazing talent, I don't know him as a person, but I WAS genuinely shocked to hear he was in such trouble whether this can happen to me or not, which of course it can....Jamie, I'm SO glad you are able to collect this award yourself....I would Ike it if you'd stop making those annoying computer adverts with your daughter but I'm so very glad you were surrounded by loved ones that protected you when you needed it most...I feel honoured to be able to see this acceptance speech BY the person it is awarded to....bless you and your family and loved ones., always...😊 🎉...edit, my son at 44 years old passed away this year....i was so blessed to have him AND more importantly, be loved by him. And i know he's with all the people he loved and lost, hes safe now... I love you James...forever and always...in my heart forever❤

Jamie still got it!!!!! He needs to do a new stand up special! In all honesty, it's relieving to see him back in full health. He is a goldmine in black Hollywood due to him being mega successful yet still staying true to his original self to some degree! Hopefully his health and fate can allow him to remain in Earth as long as possible because the culture needs Eric Bishop!!! We're always gonna remain in the Foxxhole with you, Jamie!

Truly! i was working in the ticket office of the Fox Theater in STL & Jamie was set to perform that evening. i walked through the closed theater, the curtain was closed & i heard someone playing the heck out of the piano!!! when i walked backstage it was Jamie!!! Beauteous to see this multi-talented Being of Light sharing his authentic Gifts in a humble & venerable manner. "Don't give up on your Art...don't let them take it from you." i receive that wisdom & inspiration! 🥰 God Bless the Blessing of Jamie Foxx 🥳🙏🏾💜🌎

[@BKJay718]

😢 I’m so happy that Jamie has recovered from his aneurysm. This hits different for me bc a year ago I went through a similar situation, so I KNOW how he feels! God bless him 🙏🏾

[@nickawilliams5175]

Oh, so he had an aneurysm???

[@ScooterFarts]

It is strongly speculated and rumored within Hollywood that Fox spent his time mostly in a 6 month inpatient substance abuse treatment facility after "complications" arose during his last film. If so, he very well "could have" also originally had a TAI a.k.a. minor stroke or even suffered an actual OD (especially if the drug contained fentynol). Which may have lead to the initial emergency hospitalization. During Fox's speech he alluded to this in very subtle ways. This is certainly his personal business if true. I'm sure at some point he will be addressing those rumors. All his family, friends & fans can do is be greatful and hope that his road to "recovery" continues.

[@The00Dude]

Yea he needs a new coke supplier

I hope you are doing better❤
