Jamie Foxx makes first public appearance since health scare: ‘I couldn’t actually walk’

per The Hollywood Reporter. “It feels good to be here. I cherish every single minute now, it’s different,” the “Django Unchained” star continued. “I wouldn’t wish what I went through on my worst enemy because it’s tough when it’s almost over, when you see the tunnel.” “I saw the tunnel, I didn’t see the light,” he noted, adding that the metaphorical tunnel was “hot.” “I don’t know where I was going. ‘S–t, am I going to the right place?'” he added.

According to Foxx, he has a new appreciation for life. “I have a new respect for life, I have a new respect for my art. I watched so many movies and listened to so many songs trying to have the time go by,” the “Ali” star said. “Don’t give up on your art, man, don’t give up on your art.

When you realize that it could be over like that… I got to tell you don’t give up on your art and don’t let them take the art from you either.”Foxx kept a low profile in April after his daughter Corinne shared via Instagram that her father had suffered a “medical emergency” while on the set of Netflix’s action comedy “Back in Action” in Atlanta. “We wanted to share that my father, Jamie Foxx, experienced a medical complication yesterday,” the statement read at the time. “Luckily, due to quick action and great care, he is already on his way to recovery.

We know how beloved he is and appreciate your prayers. The family asks for privacy during this time.”Since the statement, there had been scant news about the actor’s condition.
