In a heartfelt gesture, Will Smith reached out to his long-time friend Jamie Foxx following a serious health issue that Foxx had recently shared.
In his Netflix special titled “What Had Happened Was…,” Foxx revealed that he experienced a stroke due to a brain hemorrhage in April 2023. This alarming event resulted in him losing 20 days of memory and temporarily being unable to walk—an ordeal he had kept to himself until now.
As Foxx’s 57th birthday approached on December 13, Smith took to Instagram to express his sentiments. He wrote, “Happy Early Bday, Foxx! I’m grateful to take another trip around the Sun with you. Thrilled to see you back doing what you LOVE. Welcome home. I’m excited to check it out!”
Will had an additional message
Along with his message, Will shared a sweet photo of them together, showcasing their deep friendship that began with their work on the film “Alli” in 2001. He encouraged everyone to watch Foxx’s special on Netflix as well.
Foxx’s honest account in his special highlighted the struggles he faced during his recovery and the strength necessary to overcome such a significant setback. Smith’s supportive note emphasized how vital it is to have friends and family during tough times.
The touching message deeply resonated with followers, who felt the genuine friendship between the two stars. As Foxx progresses in his recovery and returns to the public eye, the backing from friends like Smith is a crucial factor in his journey.
