Renowned comedian-turned-actor Jamie Foxx recently opened up about a mysterious health scare that left him hospitalized in April 2023. However, one of his close friends, actor Tyrin Turner, has cast doubt on the validity of Foxx’s story.

In a video that went viral on social media, Foxx shared the events leading up to his hospitalization, claiming he took an Advil for a headache and subsequently lost consciousness for 20 days. However, Turner has suggested that Foxx’s recounting might not be entirely serious, citing the actor’s penchant for blending humor with reality.

In an interview with “Art of Dialogue,” Turner emphasized that Foxx is known for his comedic flair and often weaves humor into his narratives. “You can’t take everything literally,” Turner explained. “He’s kind of halfway being funny in the scenario.”

Turner’s comments have sparked a heated debate among fans, with some accusing him of talking too much about his friend’s personal business. Others have defended Turner, saying he was simply trying to provide context to Foxx’s story.

Foxx’s representatives have not commented on the situation, leaving fans eagerly awaiting a full explanation. In the meantime, Turner has hinted that more clarity will come from Foxx himself, saying, “He has a story that he’s going to come out and tell everybody on what really happened. So people need to just wait on that. It’s coming.”

Foxx has been spotted at various events, including the 2024 African American Film Critics Association Awards luncheon, where he joked about being a clone. While his representatives have remained tight-lipped about the situation, fans remain hopeful for the actor’s well-being and curious about the truth behind his mysterious illness.

As Turner concluded, “The last time I seen him, we were playing volleyball and all kinds of stuff. So he’s perfectly normal.”
