Jamie Foxx recently celebrated his comeback on stage with his team after a major health scare. In a video uploaded to social media, the “Baby Driver” actor was heard giving a speech, toasting, and enjoying himself.

The highly acclaimed actor also spoke with CBS Mornings' Gayle King in a backstage video. Both King’s Instagram page and Oprah Daily shared a celebratory video highlighting the strong return of the “Law Abiding Citizen” actor, in which he opened up about his mental state during his recovery from the health condition.

In the video, Jamie Foxx was heard stating, "It was an excruciating time to be able to open those wounds every single day for three nights," while talking to King during the celebration following the final night of a three-date run of his new comedy special, What Had Happened Was.

He further shared, "It was excruciating because the worry is what gets you."

For those who may not know, Jamie Foxx was hospitalized in April 2023 due to a "medical complication," as stated by his daughter. Reports indicate that the “Day Shift” actor remained out of the public eye for about a month. Foxx made his first Instagram post in May 2023, expressing that he felt blessed.

Meanwhile, several big names from the Hollywood film industry, including Martin Lawrence and Kevin Hart, shared insights about the “Django Unchained” actor’s health. Discussing his recently filmed comedy special in Atlanta for Netflix, Foxx stated in September 2024 that it serves as a way to share his journey “through a serious health scare.”

"I am never going to go through this again. My next jokes will start out, ‘knock, knock. I’ll do an hour and a half of ‘knock, knock’ jokes," The Amazing Spider-Man 2 actor stated while talking to King.

The actor from “White House Down” first updated fans on his health in July 2023, describing his journey as going to hell and coming back.
