Three months after being hospitalised for an unidentified “medical complication,” Oscar winner Jamie Foxx has provided a thorough report on his recovery.
In an emotional three-minute recording about his deteriorating health, the 55-year-old Django Unchained star assured followers that he is not “blind” or “paralysed.””First of all, I wanna say thank you to everybody that’s prayed, man, and sent me messages. I cannot even begin to tell you how far it took me and how it brought me back.” “I went through something I never thought I would go through. I know a lot of people (were) waiting or wanting to hear an update, but to be honest with you, I didn’t want you to see me like that man,”he admitted, with tears in his eyes.
The actor, who returned to work earlier this week to film a commercial in Las Vegas, continued: “I want you to see me laughing, having a good time, partying, cracking a joke, doing a movie, (or) a television show. I didn’t want you to see me with tubes running out of me and trying to figure out if I was going to make it through.” The actor said his sister Deidra Dixon and his daughter Corinne “saved my life”,
He also thanked God and the “great medical people” who treated him, as reported . “I cannot tell you how great it feels to have your family kick in in such a way – and y’all know they kept it airtight, they didn’t let nothin’ out. They protected me,” he said. “And that’s what I hope everyone could have in moments like these”, he added.
