Jamie Foxx has a new outlook on life.
"You know how you take a picture on your cell phone, and you hit that first filter and it brightens up?" the Oscar mused to E! at the 2025 Golden Globes Jan. 5. "That's the way life looks now. Everything is altered."
That life-changing moment happened back in April 2023 when the actor suffered a brain bleed that led to a stroke.
In addition to his doctors, he credits his familyâincluding his sister Deidra Dixon and his daughters Corinne and Aneliseâfor saving his life.
âMy daughters in the back kept me in the aliveâCorinne Marie and Anelise,â the Ray star continued. âAnd I'm just blessed, man, 'cause it was over."

Jamie Foxx Shares Emotional Photos From His Return to the Stage After Health Scare
It's a sentiment Amy Schumer can relate to.
âThere are two kinds of Cushing [syndrome],â the comedian explained on the Jan. 22 episode of Alex Cooperâs Call Her Daddy podcast, âand one of them you could die.â
Though Amy feared the worst for 24 hours, she ultimately learned she was suffering from the nonfatal type, from which she later recovered.
"While I was doing press on camera for my Hulu show, I was also in MRI machines four hours at a time, having my veins shut down from the amount of blood drawn and thinking I may not be around to see my son grow up,â the Life & Beth creatorâwho first shares 5-year-old son Gene with husband Chris Fischerânoted in a February 2024 edition of the  News Not Noise newsletter. "So finding out I have the kind of Cushing that will just work itself out and I'm healthy was the greatest news imaginable."

Amy Schumerâs Cushing Syndrome
While the internet isn't always a kind place, Amy Schumer is happy that, in this case, it helped her get answers.
"The internet really came for me after doing a bunch of press, and I was like, 'OK everybody, relax,'" Amy recalled of her "puffier" face on a January 2025 episode of Call Her Daddy. "But then doctors were chiming in in the comments and they were like, 'No no, we think somethingâs really up. Your face looks so crazy that we think somethingâs up. And Iâm like, âWait, Iâm getting trolled by doctors?â"
After these doctors said they thought she had Cushing syndrome and that it may be caused by spiking coritsol levels or steroid injections, the Life & Beth creator thought, "Wait, I have been getting steroid injections in my scars."
"I had a breast reduction, a C-section, whatever, and so I was getting these steroid injections," Amy said. "So it gave me this thing called Cushing syndrome, which I wouldnât have known if the internet hadnât come for me so hard."
Toda, Amy is just relieved she's OK. As she shared in a February 2024 News Not Noise newsletter, "Finding out I have the kind of Cushing that will just work itself out and I'm healthy was the greatest news imaginable."
Hailey Bieber's Blood Clot
Hailey Bieber had the "scariest moment" of her life when she was having breakfast with husband Justin Bieber and started experiencing stroke-like symptoms in March 2022.
"Justin was like, 'Are you OK?'" the Rhode skincare mogul shared a month later on YouTube, "and I just didn't respond because I wasn't sure. And then he asked me again and when I went to respond, I couldn't speak. The right side of my face started drooping. I couldn't get a sentence out."
While Hailey said the facial drooping stopped and her speech came back, she went to the hospital to make sure she was OK.
"They did some scans and they were able to see that I had suffered a small blood clot to my brain," the model added, "which they labeled and categorized as something called a TIA [Transient Ischemic Attack]."
Later, Hailey went to the University of California, Los Angeles, where she found out she had a hole in her heart called a patent foramen ovale (PFO).
She explained the blood clot had traveled into her heart, "escaped" through the hole and went to her brain, leading to the TIA.
Hailey said she had a successful PFO closure procedure and was now feeling great.

Justin Bieber's Ramsay Hunt Syndrome
The same year Hailey had her health scare, Justin experienced one of his own.
In June 2022, the "Baby" singer shared he was diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome, a condition that caused temporary paralysis to parts of his face and forced him to cancel the remainder of his Justice World Tour.
"It is from this virus that attacks the nerve in my ear and my facial nerves and has caused my face to have paralysis," Justin explained in an Instagram video at the time. "As you can see, this eye is not blinking. I can't smile on this side of my face. This nostril will not move. So, there's full paralysis on this side of my face."
In fact, he told his followers it had gotten "progressively harder to eat." But after a while, the paralysis went away.
"He's doing really well," Hailey said on a June 2022 episode of Good Morning America, later adding, "He's feeling a lot better. Obviously, it was just a very scary and random situation to happen, but he's going to be totally OK and I'm just grateful that he's fine."Â

Jamie Foxx's Brain Bleed & Stroke
While Jamie Foxx initially kept details of his April 2023 hospitalization private, he later opened up about what he went through.
One day in Atlanta, "I was having such a bad headache, so I asked my boy, I said, âListen, I need an aspirin,ââ the Oscar winner said in his 2024 Netflix special What Had Happened Was... âBefore I could get the Aspirin, I went out. I donât remember 20 days.â
Jamie said he was initially taken to a doctor who gave him a cortisone shot and then sent him home. However, his concerned sister Deidra Dixon then drove him to a hospital, where they got an answer: He had a brain bleed that led to a stroke.
Twenty days after undergoing an operation, the Django Unchained woke up May 4 in a wheelchair and couldnât walk. He then went to Chicago for rehabilitation and therapy.
"All I can tell you is that I appreciate every prayer,â he said, âbecause I needed every prayer.â

Emilia Clarke's Brain Aneurysm
Emilia Clarke filmed battle scenes for Game of Thrones, but in 2019, she published an essay in The New Yorker titled "A Battle for My Life."
Having a bad headache at the gym, "I reached the toilet, sank to my knees, and proceeded to be violently, voluminously ill," the actress wrote. "Meanwhile, the painâshooting, stabbing, constricting painâwas getting worse. At some level, I knew what was happening: my brain was damaged."
She was taken to the hospital for a brain scan.
"The diagnosis was quick and ominous: a subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), a life-threatening type of stroke, caused by bleeding into the space surrounding the brain," the Emmy nominee added. "Iâd had an aneurysm, an arterial rupture."
Emilia had immediate surgery to seal the aneurysm, calling the pain "unbearable." While she was recovering, she continued, she experienced aphasia and was "muttering nonsense."
A week later, "the aphasia passed," Emilia added, and she left the hospital a month after being admitted.
At a 2013 brain scan, she learned a growth "doubled in size" and that she needed surgery again.
"When they woke me, I was screaming in pain," she wrote. "The procedure had failed. I had a massive bleed and the doctors made it plain that my chances of surviving were precarious if they didnât operate again. This time they needed to access my brain in the old-fashioned wayâthrough my skull."
Thankfully, Emilia shared, she's now "at a hundred per cent."

Cori Broadus's Stroke
Snoop Dogg's daughter Cori Broadus is grateful for her family.
Because after she suffered a "severe stroke" in January 2024, her loved ones rushed to be by her side.
"I texted them that I just had a stroke and sent them a picture," she told E! News correspondent Will Marfuggi in December 2024. "Everybody just came to my rescue."
Because of other medical concerns, Cori ended up staying in the hospital longer than she initially expected.
"I could have went home after my stroke, but my lupus wasn't doing so well," the Snoop's Fatherhood: Cori and Wayne's Story star continued. "My kidneys were failing. It was a lot going on."
Today, Cori is on the mend.
"I'm doing great," she added. "I just had a little bit of motor skills that I had to work back on. But other than that, I was fine."

Shailene Woodley's Health Battle
Shailene Woodleyâs early 20s were not an easy time health-wise.
âIt got to the point where I was losing my hearing. I couldnât walk for longer than five minutes at a time without having to lay down for hours, and hours and sleep. Everything I ate hurt my stomach,â the actress said on a September 2024 episode of the SHE MD Podcast. âIt was this conflation of issues and diagnoses and different doctors telling me different things.â
So Shaileneâwho chose to keep the exact condition privateâset out to find answers.
âI come from a very holistic background and study herbalism,â she added. âSo I was very keen on, âIâm going to work with real MDs, [and] Iâm also going to work with independent kind of healers.â Just trying to search for some sense of comfort in my own skin.â
It was a long journeyâone that lasted for 10 years.
âThroughout that decade, a lot of other things came from feeling so much discomfort physically,â the Big Little Lies star noted, âwhich was, âMy gosh, if everything I eat hurts my stomach, Iâm now suddenly afraid of food.â And then going into the kind of mental f--ckery that can happen with that of body dysmorphia and confusion about identity and feeling safe in my own capsule, in my own skin, what that meant, and what that should be.â
After tending to both her physical and mental health, Shailene is feeling much better.
âIt was a journey that ultimately physically resolved itself, and I am very healthy,â she shared. âIâm so happy to be able to say that."
