What happened to Jamie Foxx?

After sharing several recovery updates on Instagram, Foxx made his first major public appearance in December to accept the Vanguard Award at the Critics Choice Association's Celebration of Cinema & Television: Honoring Black, Latino and AAPI Achievements.

At the time, he revealed that he "couldn't actually walk" six months earlier.

"It feels good to be here," he said. "I cherish every single minute now. It's different. I wouldn't wish what I went through on my worst enemy because it's tough when it's almost over. ... 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.'"

Foxx joked, "Am I going to the right place? I see the devil going, 'C'mon.'"

On April 12, daughter Corinne Foxx revealed the "Ray" actor "experienced a medical complication" and was recovering.

"Luckily, due to quick action and great care, he is already on his way to recovery," she wrote in a since-removed Instagram post. "We know how beloved he is and appreciate your prayers. The family asks for privacy during this time."

Several months later, in July, Jamie Foxx posted a video on social media to prove to his fans that he was on the mend.

"I didn’t want you to see me with tubes running out of me and trying to figure out if I was going to make it through," he said in a July 21 Instagram post. "I went to hell and back, and my road to recovery had some potholes as well, but I’m coming back."

He added, "It’s been tough, man; I was sick. But now I’ve got my legs under me so you’re going to see me."
