Jamie Foxx is feeling grateful.
On Monday, Oct. 14, the actor and comedian, 56, opened up about telling the story of his April 2023 health scare in his emotional one-man show, One More Chance: An Evening with Jamie Foxx.
Sharing snaps from his show in Atlanta via Instagram, Foxx wrote, “God is good…. As I post these pictures, my heart and my soul is filled with nothing but pure joy…on October 3 fourth and fifth I had an opportunity to tell my side of the story and there was no better place than Atlanta Georgia.”
“I have to thank you Atlanta you showed up and you showed out, I haven’t been on stage in 18 years but I needed the stage and I needed an audience that was made up of nothing but pure love and that’s what you were,” he continued.
The Django Unchained star added, “When people ask me is this a stand up comedy show I say ‘No it’s an artistic explanation.’ ”
