The actor revealed in a new interview that Jamie Foxx hallucinated his white version and suspected he was cloned when he recovered from a stroke in a hospital bed.
The 57-year-old artist opened up to the Hollywood Reporter about the brain spiral he suffered because he suffered a bloody brain that left him in a coma for nearly three weeks.
Foxx said during his heavy sedation that he began to believe strange theories about what happened to him.
“Even if I was calmed down, they gave me oxycontin, dilantin and morphine,” Fox said. “That’s ‘It’s for your pain, it’s for your pain, so you don’t remember it.'”
The stroke occurred in April 2023, causing Jamie Foxx to become unconscious for 20 days.
When he regained his understanding, he said he could not understand how people in what he called “perfect shape” suffered such severe medical activities.
He said: “I was sneaking on my phone because I didn’t know what the outside world was talking about and I couldn’t be sure of my stroke.

The hallucination intensified. Foxx described for a moment, thinking he saw his white version enter the ward.
“And I saw me walking into my room, but I was white, so I saw white. The next morning, I said, ‘I know what happened, you want to clone me and make me white, so I’m going to be better off overseas.'”
Not long after, his doctor adjusted his medication levels, which brought him back to reality.
He said, “Brother, I’m on another planet.”
Foxx has since returned to work and has made several public appearances, including once in December 2023, where he spoke emotionally about his recovery.
