Jamie Foxx Has ‘New Respect For Life’ Following Hospitalization
By Movieguide® Contributor
Jamie Foxx recently made his first public appearance since a medical complication caused him to be hospitalized earlier this year.
“You know, it’s crazy, I couldn’t do that six months ago — I couldn’t actually walk,” Foxx said after walking across the stage to accept the Critics Choice Association Vanguard Award.
The actor continued, “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. When you see the tunnel, I saw the tunnel — I didn’t see the light.”
“I have a new respect for life,” Foxx concluded. “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. Don’t give up on your art, man, don’t give up.”
