Jamie Foxx Was Spotted at the Same Beverly Hills Hotspot Earlier This Week
Meanwhile, Mr. Chow is a favorite haunt for Foxx.
On Tuesday night, Foxx was seen outside Mr. Chow. The star signed autographs and expressed heartfelt gratitude for being alive to celebrate another birthday. Reflecting on the near-death health scare he faced in 2023, he spoke about how deeply thankful he is for this second chance at life.
“It’s beautiful. I didn’t know if I would be here to celebrate it,” he said in footage posted on X.
Foxx shared his excitement about returning to the stage with his new Netflix special, What Happened Was, which premiered on Tuesday.
“It’s amazing, man. To have gone through something so crazy, but to get back on. [To] make some chuckles and let other people know what’s up was amazing,” he admitted.
During the special, the Django Unchained star grew emotional. He shared that a brain bleed, which ultimately led to a stroke, was the reason for his weeks-long hospitalization starting in April 2023.
He shared that he also has no recollection of 20 days spent in the hospital.
In the end, the surgeon was unable to pinpoint the source of the brain bleed. However, Foxx went on to make a full recovery.
“We still don’t know exactly what happened to me,” Foxx revealed in the special.
“All I can tell you is that I appreciate every prayer because I needed every prayer,” he added.
