Jamie Foxx recently got candid as he gave details of the medical emergency he endured last year that left him hospitalised for more than 2 weeks. The Oscar-winning actor chatted up with some of his fans outside a restaurant in Phoenix, Arizona recently where he was asked about his health. The actor tried to provide answers to what had happened when he suffered a 'medical complication' more than a year ago. 

"Look, April 11 last year, bad headache asked my boy for an Advil," Foxx said before snapping his fingers. "I was gone for 20 days."

The actor's daughter Corinne Foxx had revealed on April 12 that her father was recovering from a medical complication. 

"Luckily, due to quick action and great care, he is already on his way to recovery," she wrote on social media at the time. "We know how beloved he is and appreciate your prayers. The family asks for privacy during this time."

Foxx is yet to disclose the medical condition he suffered.

"I don't remember anything," Jamie said to the fans at the restaurant. "So they told me – I'm in Atlanta – they told me, my sister and my daughter, they took me to the first doctor and they said… ‘nah,’ gave me a cortisone shot."

"The next doctor said, ‘Something’s going on up there.' I won't say it on camera, I won't say it on camera. But it was …" Foxx said as he nodded his head in deep thought.

He's since slowly made his way back into the public eye with the support of his friends and family.

"I went through something that I thought I would never, ever go through," he said in an Instagram post shared in July. "I know a lot of people were waiting, or wanting to hear updates, and to be honest with you – I just didn't want you to see me like that."

"I've been sick, man, but now, I've got my legs under me, so you're going to see me out," he said. "I'm here on Earth because of some great people. I'm here on Earth because of God."

The award-winning actor has eight projects slated for the future, according to IMDb, and wrapped filming on Back in Action last year after production was halted following his medical scare. Cameron Diaz rubbishes Jamie Foxx 'made everyone miserable' rumours
