The 57-year-old Hollywood actor fell ill in Atlanta, Georgia in 2023 while he was in town filming his Netflix movie 'Back in Action' and it was later revealed he'd suffered a stroke which left him in a coma for almost three weeks, but at the time his family kept details of his health battle secret - putting his illness down to a 'medical complication' - and it led to fervent online speculation about what hap - pened to him. Jamie has now revealed he read some of the rumours while he was in hospital and one story in particular freaked him out. Speaking at The Hollywood Reporter's StandUp Comedy Roundtable event, Jamie explained: 'I was doing so many jokes in the hospital. That's the only way I could get through it. 'I'm a comic, so even when I was heavily sedated, and they gave me OxyContin, Dilantin and morphine at the same time … it was: 'This is for your pain, and this is so you don't remember it' ... 'I snuck in my phone because I didn't know what the outside world was saying and I couldn't get my mind around the fact that I had a stroke. I'm in perfect shape ...

Jamie Foxx Exclaims 'Puffy Didn't Try To Kill Me' After Rumored Conspiracy
Jamie Foxx has, once again, denied rumors that Sean 'Diddy' Combs made an attempt on his life. Speaking with Hasan Minhaj, Chelsea Handler, Roy Wood Jr., Seth Meyers, and Sarah Silverman for The Hollywood Reporter, the 57-year-old opened up about his reactions to online conspiracies that were created during his 2023 hospitalization. 'I was doing so many jokes in the hospital. That's the only way I could get through it. I'm a comic, so even when I was heavily sedated, and they gave me OxyContin, Dilantin, and morphine at the same time,' reflected Foxx after Minhaj's revelation that 'Jamie almost died.' He continued to explain how he snuck to use his mobile device and was introduced to the rumors being spun by the outside world as he and his family kept the details of the medical emergency under wraps. It was later revealed that the comedian suffered from a brain bleed and stroke. 'I'm in f**king perfect shape. [I see things like,] 'Puffy tried to kill me.' No, Puffy didn't try to kill me. When they said I was a clone, that made me flip. I'm sitting in the hospital bed, like, 'These bi**h-a** motherf**kers are trying to clone me,' elaborated the acclaimed actor. 'And then I saw me walk into my room, but I'm white, so I see the white me. The next morning, I said, 'I know what's up, you're trying to clone me and make me white so I'll sell better overseas.' The psychiatrist says, 'Are you all right?' And I say, 'Am I all right or am I all white? I saw you trying to get the white motherf**king Jamie Foxx and it ain't going to happen.' He just calmly goes, 'I think we're going to lower your dosage.' Rumors that Combs was involved in the health scare experienced by Foxx reached the point where the Hip-Hop mogul's team had to address them after the comedian parlayed the discourse into a part of his stand up routine. The rumors were called 'outlandish, ridiculous, and baseless,' by Combs' representatives in October 2024 after Combs was arrested the month before. Foxx himself also attempted to clear up confusion later that year when he exclaimed that the Harlem native was not invloved in his illness. 'The internet was trying to kill me, though. The internet said Puffy tried to kill me. I know what you're thinking, did he?' Foxx joked in his Netflix comedy special What Had Happened Was… 'Hell, nah ni**a, I left those parties early. I was out by 9 ni**a, something don't look right ni**a. It's slippery in here.'More from Jessie and D'Lila Combs Graduate High School Amid Dad Diddy's Criminal Trial Young Thug Calls Kid Cudi A "Rat" After Taking The Stand In Diddy Trial Diddy Could Lose $400M Fortune If Feds Seize His Remaining Assets

Jamie Foxx Responds To Diddy Conspiracy Theory
Jamie Foxx is putting the rumors to rest. Last year, the actor and comedian broke his silence on the medical emergency that led to his hospitalization in 2023, confirming that he'd suffered a stroke. Jamie's hospitalization resulted in tons of baseless rumors and conspiracy theories — so much so that his daughter Corinne had to issue a statement rebutting the speculation while he was recovering. One such rumor was that Diddy — who is currently standing trial on sex trafficking charges – had allegedly conspired to kill Jamie, resulting in his health issues. His reps called the rumors "outlandish, ridiculous and baseless" last year. During last year's standup comedy special What Had Happened Was, Jamie briefly addressed the rumors — as well as any chatter that he'd been in Diddy's inner circle regarding the mountain of allegations that the disgraced music mogul has since faced. 'The internet said Puffy was trying to kill me, that's what the internet was saying,' he said. 'I know what you thinking, 'Diddy?' Hell no, I left them parties early.' In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Jamie more directly — and more seriously — shut down the conspiracy theory while getting more in-depth about his recovery in the hospital. 'I'm in fucking perfect shape," he said about his current condition. "[I saw things like,] 'Puffy tried to kill me.' No, Puffy didn't try to kill me. When they said I was a clone, that made me flip. I'm sitting in the hospital bed, like, 'These bitch-ass motherfuckers are trying to clone me.'' Jamie also revealed that, while in the hospital, he leaned on humor — and his comedic craft — to keep himself busy and mentally strong. 'I was doing so many jokes in the hospital,' he said. 'That's the only way I could get through it. I'm a comic, so even when I was heavily sedated, and they gave me OxyContin, Dilantin and morphine at the same time.'

Jamie Foxx "flipped" when he read wild rumours about his health scare during his hospital stay. The 57-year-old Hollywood actor fell ill in Atlanta, Georgia in 2023 while he was in town filming his Netflix movie 'Back in Action' and it was later revealed he'd suffered a stroke which left him in a coma for almost three weeks, but at the time his family kept details of his health battle secret - putting his illness down to a "medical complication" - and it led to fervent online speculation about what happened to him. Jamie has now revealed he read some of the rumours while he was in hospital and one story in particular freaked him out. Speaking at The Hollywood Reporter's Stand-Up Comedy Roundtable event, Jamie explained: "I was doing so many jokes in the hospital. That's the only way I could get through it. "I'm a comic, so even when I was heavily sedated, and they gave me OxyContin, Dilantin and morphine at the same time … it was: 'This is for your pain, and this is so you don't remember it' ... "I snuck in my phone because I didn't know what the outside world was saying and I couldn't get my mind around the fact that I had a stroke. I'm in f****** perfect shape ... "[I saw rumours like] 'Puffy tried to kill me'. No, Puffy didn't try to kill me." Jamie went on to add he saw another rumour suggesting he was "a clone" and "that made me flip." He said: "I'm sitting in the hospital bed, like, 'These ... m************ are trying to clone me'. And then I saw me walk into my room, but I'm white, so I see the white me. The next morning, I said: 'I know what's up, you're trying to clone me and make me white so I'll sell better overseas'." The actor added that his psychiatrist asked if he was "all right" and Jamie asked him: "Am I all right or am I all white? I saw you trying to get the white m************ Jamie Foxx and it ain't going to happen." The psychiatrist then suggested lowering the dosage of his medication. When another participant at the round table event asked about reading the conspiracy theories, Jamie added that he was "was on another planet". Jamie previously opened up about his health scare during his Netflix special 'Jamie Foxx: What Had Happened Was ... ' revealing his symptoms started with a headache and he was driven to hospital by his sister where doctors told he needed surgery to save his life. Jamie said: "Your life doesn't flash before your face. It was kind of oddly peaceful ... I saw the tunnel. I didn't see the light. I was in that tunnel, though."
