Jamie Foxx has shared how he found strength in the support of his oldest daughter, Corrine Foxx, during his near-fatal medical emergency.
In April 2023, the Academy Award winner, 57, was hospitalized in Atlanta while filming Back In Action. The emergency was later revealed to be a brain bleed that caused a hemorrhagic stroke. Foxx was comatose for weeks, later calling his recovery a "miracle" in his 2024 Netflix special What Had Happened Was.
Before the news was revealed by the press, Corrine, 31, announced that her father was hospitalized on Instagram. In reflecting on the ordeal, Foxx spoke during Netflix's recent FYSEE LA event about how it felt to be championed by his daughter.
"I said one day I’m going to stop crying. But I got a feeling I'll never stop crying because you were special," Foxx told Corrine, who was onstage with him. "I'm glad God gave me an opportunity to get back so I could see what you're going to do because you're going to shock the world."
According to People, Foxx added that Corrine has "always been grounded" and "held me down" during the crisis that left him conscious for 20 days.
The actor recovered just in time to walk his daughter down the aisle last September, when she married her now-husband, Joe Hooten. Foxx also has a 16-year-old daughter, Anelise Bishop, who played the guitar at her father's bedside while he was hospitalized.
Elsewhere during the chat, the Any Given Sunday actor shared how "earth-shattering" it was to meet the medical team at Piedmont Hospital in Atlanta who helped him recover. Foxx shared how a nurse told him he was "a miracle" for surviving his stroke.
"She said, 'Because less than 3% of people that come in with what you had leave here. We usually put 'em in a box. But when I saw that it was you, I rolled my sleeves up – That’s Jamie Fox in there."
