Award-winning American actor Jamie Foxx has shared an update on his recovery three months after being hospitalized for “unspecified medical condition”.
In a three-minute video posted on his Instagram on Friday, 21 July, the 55-year-old actor said: “I went through something I never thought I would go through. I know a lot of people [were] waiting or wanting to hear an update, but to be honest with you, I didn’t want you to see me like that man.”
The Oscar-winning actor didn’t reveal details of the health condition he suffered. He said he didn’t make his condition public because he didn’t want people to see him in that State.
“I know a lot of people were waiting or wanting to hear updates but to be honest with you, I just didn’t want you to see me like that man. I want you to see me laughing, having a good time partying, cracking a joke, doing a movie, television show. I didn’t want you to see me with tubes running out of me and trying to figure out if I was gonna make it through.”
