Popular actor Jamie Foxx recently took to his Instagram account and posted a series of pictures with the following caption:
“This birthday is a special one…I wanna start by saying thank you to everyone that prayed for me when I was in a bad way… here lately I’ve been able to thank some of you personally but I want to say to all of you. I NEEDED EVERY PRAYER… you lifted me through… I was able to make it to today because of your prayers… I consider all of you my family… and thank you to my immediate family, and everybody who chipped in to make sure that I could celebrate on this day… I’m sending our complete joy to everybody… Cause if it’s my birthday it’s your birthday….. #swipeleft #sagittarius”
Jamie Foxx is celebrating his 56th birthday by giving thanks to those who supported him after he was hospitalized following a medical complication earlier this year.
Jeremy Renner, who experienced his own medical emergency this year after being run over by a 14,000 pound Snow Cat, sent his own birthday wishes in the replies. “You’re a gift, and I’m so happy you’ve pulled through a test and come out stronger for it @iamjamiefoxx.”
It was back in July that Foxx shared his thanks in a three-minute Instagram video, in which he addressed his April hospitilization for the first time publicly. “First of all, I wanna say thank you to everybody that’s prayed, man, and sent me messages,” he said. “I cannot even begin to tell you how far it took me and how it brought me back.”
In that same video, Foxx was light on details about what happened to him, but described it as “something that I thought I would never ever go through.”
“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,” he continued. “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.”
In April, Foxx was hospitalized for an undisclosed medical issue amid filming Netflix’s Back in Action in Atlanta.
