Jamie Foxx confirms he suffered brain bleed and stroke in near-death health emergency


He doesn't remember 20 days of his life.

On arrival to Atlanta’s Piedmont Hospital – just 400 yards away from the theatre he filmed the special in – in April last year a doctor told him that he was having a brain bleed that led to a stroke, and if they didn’t operate on him as soon as possible he would die. Jamie pumped up the crowd as he walked on stage (Picture: Cr Parrish Lewis/Netflix)At the time, he had been filming the spy comedy Back In Action with 90s movie icon Cameron Diaz.
