Jamie Foxx recently revealed details about his “near-death experience” during a hospitalization last year. The actor shared this information in his new Netflix comedy special, “What Had Happened Was.”
In the special, recorded in October, Jamie opened up about his 2023 hospitalization in Atlanta, where he was reportedly in a coma for weeks. Audience members at the taping claimed that Jamie shared how he passed out and woke up in the hospital with a beard that had grown during his unconscious state.
According to reports, Jamie initially thought he had only passed out for a moment, but he soon realized he had been in a coma for an extended period. The comedy special, set to premiere on Tuesday, aims to set the record straight about Jamie’s health scare and express his gratitude to those who supported him during his recovery.
While no filming was allowed inside the venue, attendees have shared firsthand accounts of Jamie’s performance, including a joke suggesting that Diddy was somehow involved in his hospitalization. It remains to be seen if this particular joke will make it into the final cut of the special, but Jamie’s recounting of his coma experience will definitely be featured.
Overall, Jamie Foxx’s candid revelations in his Netflix special shed light on a challenging time in his life and offer insight into his resilience and gratitude for those who stood by him.
