Speaking during a Netflix special, the Django Unchained star told the audience he'd suffered a "brain bleed that led to a stroke".

He said he had a bad headache one day and asked for an aspirin but before he could take it, he "went out (blacked out). I don't remember 20 days".

At the time, his daughter Corinne Foxx said he had experienced a "medical complication" but the family did not share details about his health issues.

In an emotional chat with the audience for Jamie Foxx: What Had Happened Was..., recorded in Atlanta, the city where he was working when he fell ill, Foxx said he was initially sent home by medics after being given a cortisone injection.
