Jamie Foxx Makes First Public Appearance Since Apparent Near-Death Experience
Jamie Foxx marked his first public appearance since being hospitalized for an unknown medical condition back in April, that was apparently serious enough that the actor’s friends and family were urging fans to pray for him. And while Foxx didn’t elaborate on his mystery condition, he hinted at how close he had come to death and explained that the experience has given him a new lease on life.
The 55-year-old made his remarks during a surprise appearance at the Critics Choice Association’s Celebration of Cinema and Television: Honoring Black, Latino and AAPI Achievements event on Monday night. Though his honor was not announced in advance, Foxx received the Vanguard Award for his performance in the 2023 Amazon Prime legal drama, The Burial.
Emotional Jamie Foxx revealed he ‘saw the tunnel but not the light’ as he opened up about his near-death experience for his first public appearance since his shock health scare at the Critics Choice Association’s event on Monday evening.
The actor, 55, who was also attending his first event since being accused of sexual assault, was visibly moved as he accepted the Vanguard Award in a 12 minute speech at the association’s Celebration of Cinema & Television: Honoring Black, Latino and AAPI Achievements in Los Angeles.
Foxx admitted that he could not ‘walk’ six months earlier, via Deadline, though he refrained from revealing too many details about the medical crisis that put him in the hospital.
‘You know, it’s crazy, I couldn’t do that six months ago,’ he said after strutting across the stage to the microphone. ‘I couldn’t actually walk.’
‘I want to thanks everybody. I’ve been through something, I’ve been through some things,’ he said to thunderous applause.

‘I cherish every single minute now — it’s different,’ he continued. ‘I wouldn’t wish what I went through on my worst enemy because it’s tough when it’s almost over … when you see the tunnel. I saw the tunnel — I didn’t see the light.
‘It was hot in that tunnel too, I don’t know where I was going. ‘S**t, am I going to the right place?’”
In his 12-minute speech, he also made light of some of the baseless conspiracy theories that spread while he was hospitalized and then out of the public eye for several months.
‘I’m not a clone, I’m not a clone. I know a lot of people who was saying I was cloned out there.’
‘I have a new respect for life. I have a new respect for my art,’ he added toward the end of his speech.
“I couldn’t do that six months ago, I couldn’t actually walk to [the stage],” he told attendees at the Fairmont Plaza Hotel in Century City. “And I’m not a clone, I’m not a clone. I know a lot of people saying that I was cloned out there.”
“It feels good to be here. I cherish every single minute now, it’s different,” Foxx continued. “I wouldn’t wish what I went though on my worst enemy because it’s tough when it’s almost over, when you see the tunnel. I saw the tunnel, I didn’t see the light. It was hot in that tunnel too, I don’t know where I was going. ‘Shit, am I going to the right place?'”
“I have a new respect for life, I have a new respect for my art,” he added, on a serious note. “I watched so many movies and listened to so many songs trying to have the time go by. Don’t give up on your art, man, don’t give up on your art. When you realize that it could be over like that … I got to tell you don’t give up on your art and don’t let them take the art from you either.”
TMZ broke the news on April 12 that Foxx had suffered a “medical emergency” in Atlanta on the set of his upcoming action flick Back in Action, starring Glenn Close and Cameron Diaz. While details were slim at the time and remain so, he provided an update on his condition back in August.
“You’re lookin at a man who is thankful … finally startin to feel like myself,” Foxx wrote on Instagram. “It’s been an unexpected dark journey … but I can see the light. I’m thankful to everyone that reached out and sent well wishes and prayers … I have a lot of people to thank … u just don’t know how much it meant. I will be thanking all of you personally … and if you didn’t know … GOD IS GOOD … all day every day.”
We may never fully know the extent of the notoriously private actor’s ordeal, but it sounds as though he is indeed lucky to be alive.
