Popular American actor and musician, Jamie Foxx, has opened up on his battle with brain bleed that led to a stroke.

Foxx made the disclosure while speaking about the cause of his hospital admission in 2023.

In a new Netflix special, the 56-year-old actor explained that he experienced a bad headache and “blacked out for 20 days”.

He said he was admitted at the Piedmont Hospital where he suffered a brain bleed that led to a stroke.

“It is a mystery. We still don’t know exactly what exactly happened to me.

“On April 11 2023, I had a bad headache and I asked my boy for an aspirin, but I realised quickly that your boys don’t know what to do when you are in a medical emergency.

“Before I could get the aspirin I went out. And i do not remember 20 days.”

Foxx said he found himself in a wheelchair and unable to walk after he woke from the coma.
