Jamie Foxx has receieved plenty of messages and good wishes after he opened up on his health complications.
On Saturday, the Oscar-winning actor, 55, reposted messages from celebrity pals expressing their support and well wishes for him after he addressed his April medical complication in an Instagram clip earlier in the day.
Foxx also reposted a message from longtime friend Martin Lawrence. “Many blessings to my brotha @iamjamiefoxx,” Lawrence, 58, had written. The comedian and actor had previously given an update on Foxx in April, days after he was hospitalized following a medical complication on set in Atlanta.
“I hear he’s doing better,” Lawrence told Extra at his Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony. “My prayers go out for him every night and just wishing the best for him, one of the best that we got in Hollywood.” “Not only one of the best entertainers but a good person,” he added.
In the clip shared by Foxx, he 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.
