About this listen
Jamie Foxx has been quietly active over the past several days, marking a significant recovery period following his April 2023 stroke and related health complications. Most notably, Foxx returned home to Houston on November 30th to perform at a historic 15th anniversary celebration of his beloved Kashmere High School documentary, according to his Instagram announcement. This homecoming carries particular weight given his health journey and represents a meaningful return to his roots.
Earlier this month, Foxx made an emotional appearance at the 2025 BET Awards in June where he accepted the Ultimate Icon Award. During his speech, he became visibly emotional while reflecting on his near-death experience and thanking his family for their support. He brought both of his daughters, Corinne and 16-year-old Anelise, to tears as he spoke candidly about his recovery and the gratitude he feels for being alive. In his Netflix special "Jamie Foxx: What Had Happened Was," he detailed suffering a brain bleed that caused a stroke, revealing he lost 20 days of memory during his hospitalization.
More recently, Foxx attended the 2025 Golden Globes on January 5th with his daughters Corinne and Anelise by his side. He was nominated for best performance in stand-up comedy for his special but did not take home the award. He shared a memorable moment with Adam Sandler at the ceremony, posting photos from their table with the caption about the great laughs they shared. In his Instagram post, Foxx reflected deeply on his accomplishment, writing that he had already won simply by standing upright with his daughters and being alive after his medical emergency.
On the professional front, Deadline confirmed that Foxx will play the iconic anti-hero Spawn in an upcoming Blumhouse film written and directed by Todd McFarlane, marking a significant new project for the actor. Additionally, he was recently seen cheffing it up in the kitchen for Thanksgiving celebrations, according to reports from BET, suggesting he continues to enjoy time with family and loved ones.
Throughout these appearances and activities, Foxx has repeatedly emphasized gratitude for his survival and recovery, particularly crediting his sister Deidra Dixon for saving his life by ensuring he received proper medical treatment following his initial misdiagnosis. His public presence demonstrates a focused return to work and meaningful personal moments with family.
