Jamie Foxx Says He's Ready To Reveal Details About His Health Scare

The Oscar winner suffered a "medical complication" last year that saw him hospitalized for a month.

Jamie Foxx is ready to discuss his recent health scare — but wants to do it “in a funny way.”

The “Django Unchained” star delivered an affable speech Sunday about his lengthy hospitalization last year and, while accepting the Producers Award at the African American Film Critics Association luncheon, teased a return to his stand-up comedy roots.

“Everybody wants to know what happened, and I’m going to tell you what happened,” said Foxx, per Variety. “But I’ve gotta do it in my way. I’m gonna do it in a funny way. We’re gonna be on the stage. We’re gonna get back to the stand-up sort of roots.”

“It’ll be called, ‘What Had Happened Was,’ and it’s got all the things that happened, especially on our side of our community,” he continued, before sharing an example. “I dove out of a car to save this Black woman’s purse. ‘That ain’t no damn Jamie, that’s a clone.’”

He recently teased his stand-up return on Instagram: “I got some jokes, and a story to tell.”
