American actor, comedian and singer, Jamie Foxx, has talked about his health in an emotional video.

He was hospitalized in April following an undisclosed medical condition.

Jamie opened up about what he went through in a video shared on Instagram.

“I went through something that I thought I would never, ever go through.

“I know a lot of people were waiting or wanting to hear updates but to be honest with you, I just didn’t want you to see me like that man. I want you to see me laughing, having a good time partying, cracking a joke, doing a movie, television show. I didn’t want you to see me with tubes running out of me and trying to figure out if I was gonna make it through,” he said.

He indicated that his sister, Deidra Dixon, and his daughter, Corinne Foxx, “saved my life.”

“To them, to God, to a lot of great medical people, I’m able to leave you this video,” he shared. “I cannot tell you how great it feels to have your family kick in in such a way, and y’all know they kept it airtight. They didn’t let nothing out. They protected me, and that’s what I hope that everyone could have in moments like these.”

The 55-year-old actor also shot down the rumours about being “blind” or “paralyzed.”

“I went to hell and back, and my road to recovery had some potholes as well,” he admitted. “But I’m coming back and I’m able to work.”

Being visibly emotional about his journey, he stated: “I know they talk about people crying on videos. You can do a take two — I’m not gonna do a take two. It is what it is. If you see me out from now on and every once in a while I just burst into tears, it’s because it’s been tough, man. I’ve been sick, man. But now I’ve got my legs under me, so you’re gonna see me out.”

“But like I said, I just want you to remember me for the jokes that I crack, the movies that I make — some of them good, some of them ain’t — I think I’ve got a good one out,” he joked, “and songs that I sing.”

He added: “I’m here on Earth because of some great people. I’m here on Earth because of God, man. I’m on my way back.”
Jamie Foxx captioned the video: “Thank u a billion to everybody… been a long road but all the prayers great people and God got me through…. 🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️.”
