Jamie Foxx has revealed how he thought it was a joke when doctors told him he had been out for 20 days after suffering a stroke caused bleed on the brain.
In Friday’s upcoming Graham Norton episode, the actor, 57, speaks out about his terrifying health scare which saw him in a coma following surgery in April 2023.
Jamie said he ‘didn’t remember anything’ from the time he was rushed into A&E to when he finally came round 20 days later.
‘I was very unwell but now I am back feeling good. It makes you realise that you need people that care and love you around to get you through it.
‘I didn’t remember anything happening so when I came to 20 days later I thought I was being pranked. It was beyond crazy.’
Jamie has now made his return to Hollywood alongside co-star Cameron Diaz for their new film, Back In Action.

In Friday’s upcoming Graham Norton episode, the actor, 57, speaks out about his terrifying health scare in April 2023
He had been filming when he started experiencing a ‘bad headache’ in Atlanta and initially was given a cortisone shot, but his sister Deidra Dixon, ‘knew something was wrong’.
Deidra drove him to Atlanta’s Piedmont Hospital, where he underwent a life-saving procedure.
The family kept his health battle private at the time, with Jamie only revealing last month what really happened.
Of his return to the public eye, Jamie said: ‘I knew I had to get back and realised the way to do it was by being funny. I told so many jokes people thought I was mad, and then I would act as someone else – for three whole days I was Denzel Washington.
Jamie previously revealed how he vividly remembers waking up from his coma on May 4, and being unable to walk.
He recalled: ‘When I woke up, I found myself in a wheelchair. I couldn’t walk.’
Yet Jamie didn’t want to believe he’d had a stroke and recounted his therapist telling him about his ego: ‘You need to kill the old Jamie so the new Jamie can thrive.’

Cameron, 52, is making her return to film after a decade-long hiatus.
She said: ‘I am back all thanks to Jamie. I had 10 years of not paying attention to anything; not accepting any advances, and then I got this script and thought that maybe it was time. If I was going to l
eave my family for 10 hours a day I wanted to do it with the most talented man in the entertainment business.
‘It is a privilege to make films, and we are all so lucky to do what we do. That the door was even open for me after a decade was amazing.
‘I loved those 10 years for me and my family, but I thought, “If I let this go away, if I don’t engage again, and if I don’t give it chance, I am a fool.”
‘It might be the beginning of something, but its here now and I am grateful for it.’
