Jamie
Foxx
had
a
health
scare
earlier
this
year
that
had
fans
and
his
peers
alike
wishing
for
his
speedy
recovery
from
the
unknown
illness.
During
a
Critics
Choice
Association
event
ahead
of
the
TV
nominations,
Foxx
won
an
award
and
addressed
his
health
journey
during
his
acceptance
speech.
As
shared
via
the
CCA’s
X
account,
Jamie
Foxx
was
among
several
people
honored
at
the
CCA
event
that
honored
Black,
Latino,
and
AAPI
performers
and
industry
talent
at
the
Fairmont
Century
Plaza
on
Monday
(December
4).
Foxx,
55,
earned
the
Vanguard
Award
for
his
performance
in
Amazon
Prime’s
The
Burial.
“You
know,
it’s
crazy,
I
couldn’t
do
that
six
months
ago,
I
couldn’t
actually
walk,”
Foxx
began
in
his
speech
after
walking
out
to
loud
applause
“I
wouldn’t
wish
what
I
went
through
on
my
worst
enemy,
because
it’s
tough.”
At
several
points
of
the
speech,
Foxx
was
moved
emotionally
by
the
memory
of
the
moment
and
the
response
from
the
crowd.
Ultimately,
the
scare
made
Foxx
more
appreciative
of
the
little
things
now.
Earlier
this
year,
Foxx
was
on
the
set
of
the
film
Back
In
Action.
He
suffered
a
medical
emergency
that
halted
production
of
the
film
and
kept
him
out
of
the
limelight
as
he
recovered
while
keeping
details
of
his
emergency
and
healing
close
to
family
and
friends.
Salute
to
Jamie
Foxx
and
it’s
great
to
see
you
back.
