Concerns about Jamie Foxx's health
In April 2023, while filming the movie Back in Action for Netflix, Jamie Foxx visited the hospital for treatment of an unidentified "medical complication." He then went through a lengthy recuperation procedure. According to a statement released by a spokeswoman for the actor in June 2023, the rumour that he had been rendered "paralysed and blind" as a result of receiving a COVID-19 vaccine was debunked.
The specifics of Jamie's medical emergency have not been made public at this time; nevertheless, in his first public appearance since then, which took place in December 2023 at an event hosted by the Critics' Choice Association, he made a passing reference to the severity of the effects. According to what the actor had stated, "I couldn't do that six months ago, I couldn't actually walk to [the stage]... The light was invisible to me, but I saw the tunnel. In addition, it was very hot inside that tunnel, and I had no idea where I was headed anyway.
