Back in April, news broke that Spider-Man: No Way Home star Jamie Foxx had been hospitalised for what his daughter described as a "medical complication."
Plenty of conflicting reports would follow, but the prevailing opinion seemed to be that things looked bleak for the Oscar-winning actor. Now, Foxx has taken to Instagram to share a health update (though he's yet to reveal the nature of the aforementioned complication).
"I cannot even begin to tell you how far it took me and how it brought me back," he says. "I went through something that I thought I would never, ever go through."
Thanking fans for their thoughts and prayers, Foxx went on to explain why it's taken him this long to speak out. "I just didn’t want you to see me like that. I want you to see me laughing, having a good time, partying, cracking a joke, doing a movie, a television show. I just 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."
Dismissing tabloid reports he'd been blinded or paralysed by what happened, Foxx added, "I did go to hell and back. My road to recovery had some potholes as well but I’m coming back, and I’m able to work."
We're pleased to hear he's now on the road to recovery and expect future updates to follow. Foxx is looking well, anyway, and it's great to finally hear from him.
Shortly after Spider-Man: No Way Home was released, it was reported that there are plans for the actor to play Electro in a spin-off project. It doesn't make much sense given how Max Dillon's story ended in the threequel, though this is Sony we're talking about.
