Jamie Foxx

In a powerful display of resilience and humor, Jamie Foxx is making his much-anticipated return to the spotlight with his upcoming Netflix special titled "Jamie Foxx: What Had Happened Was…". This show not only marks Foxx's first major project following a severe health scare in 2023 but also provides an intimate glimpse into the near-death experience that shook his life and career.

Fans were left in shock when Foxx was suddenly hospitalized in April 2023 during the filming of "Back in Action" in Atlanta. Until now, Foxx has remained tight-lipped about the details of his medical ordeal, but he breaks his silence in this new special. Attendees of the special’s filming in October described the Oscar-winning actor recounting his terrifying experience with raw honesty and trademark wit.

According to audience member Demecos Chambers, Foxx revealed he had slipped into a stone-cold coma, initially believing he had only been unconscious for a short time, but in reality, weeks had passed. "He was literally seconds and moments away from death", Chambers noted, recounting Foxx’s reflections on the event. It was a moment that, had he not received immediate medical attention, he might not have survived.

The special, which is scheduled to premiere on Netflix on December 10, is a heartfelt thank you to the fans and medical staff who supported Foxx during his recovery. It is not only a celebration of his return to health but also a testament to the power of community and laughter. The trailer for the special showcases Foxx on stage, joyfully proclaiming, "I'm back!"—a phrase loaded with gratitude and triumph.

Through humor and vulnerability, Foxx aims to share not just personal anecdotes but also to emphasize the healing power of laughter amidst adversity. "If I can stay funny, I can stay alive", he quips, underscoring the pivotal role comedy played in his recovery process.

Jamie Foxx's new special promises to be a unique blend of comedy and personal revelation, offering audiences not just entertainment, but a powerful message of hope and resilience.
