Most celebrity open up about their health struggles usually in attempt to bring awareness for the public. Jaime being so secretive is odd. He doesn't need to explain but it comes with being famous, fans wanting to know what happened. Wishing all the best to him. Love his work and talent!!

I hope Jamie Foxx has a speedy recovery

[grawakendream]

he's coy about everything, seems like a lot of people, he orchestrates everything so he can seem like he is in total control, always has the right answer, always relevant, always cool. even when he opens up seems like a carefully prepared spectacle

THERE'S NO AUDIO ON THIS EXCEPT AT THE END.

Jaime, You know the truth now… The tunnel was dark. You know what that means. Jesus is your savior and you need to reach out and believe in him. I pray you find Jesus Jaime! We love you man!

Coming from tubes to looking the same?
No weight loss no wheelchair nothing….sounds weird

I'm betting mild stroke (hemorrhage or clot)...

[FromtheKing]

He lost me over how he handled this. He had a stroke and recovered. He's turned into a pab.
