Explaining that he “went through something I thought I would never ever go through,” Foxx also thanked his fans for their prayers.
“I cannot even begin to tell you how far it took me and how it brought me back,” he said of the fan support he had received.
In the clip, Foxx explained that he knows “a lot of people” were “waiting” for updates about his condition, but said that “to be honest with you, I just didn’t want you to see me like that.”
“I want you to see me laughing, having a good time, partying, cracking a joke, doing a movie [or] television show,” he said. “I didn’t want you to see me with tubes running out of me and trying to figure out if I was going to make it through.”
Foxx also thanked his younger sister Deidra Dixon and daughter Corinne Marie, 29, for their “protection” during his recovery, adding that they “saved my life,” and thanking God and the “great medical people” who treated him.
