In a video shared to X, as reported by PEOPLE , the 56-year-old actor spoke to a group of people in Phoenix, AZ about how his unexpected hospitalization began.
In the clip, Foxx explains that it all started one day in April 2023 when he had a bad headache, asking his friend for some Advil. What happened after that, however, is somewhat of a mystery to the star, who says he came to 20 days later with no recollection of what happened.
“I asked my boy for an Advil,” the Spider-Man: No Way Home star revealed before snapping his fingers to indicate a time skip. “I was gone for 20 days.”
He continued, “I don’t remember anything. So they told me — I’m in Atlanta — so they told me my sister and my daughter took me to the first doctor. … They gave me a cortisone shot.”
Foxx went on to say that doctors eventually explained to him that “something’s going on up there,” pointing to his head.
