Jamie Foxx Pulled a “Method Acting Gone Wild” Stunt as Denzel Washington Post-Stroke

Buy Me A Coffee

Jamie Foxx has opened up about a terrifying, real-life plot twist that involved a brain bleed and a stroke back in April 2023—and his recovery strategy? Pure comedy gold.

The 57-year-old star, who was filming Back in Action alongside Cameron Diaz at the time, dropped by The Graham Norton Show to spill the tea. Spoiler: He’s fine now, but the journey back was like a bizarre, Oscar-worthy performance.

“I was really unwell,” Jamie shared, setting up for what sounded like a classic heartfelt moment. “But now I’m back, feeling good.” He added, “It makes you realize you need people who care about you… you know, people who won’t let you eat hospital Jello in peace because they love you too much.”

But here’s where things took a turn for the absurd.

Jamie revealed that after waking up from his medical scare, he was informed that 20 whole days had vanished from his memory. TWENTY DAYS. Naturally, Jamie assumed this was some kind of elaborate hidden-camera prank. Because if anyone was going to be Punk’d while fighting for their life, it’s Jamie Foxx.

“It felt beyond crazy,” he said. “So I decided, why not out-crazy the crazy? And that’s when the real show began.”

What followed was the ultimate flex in post-stroke recovery: Jamie decided to unleash his inner Denzel Washington. FOR THREE STRAIGHT DAYS. Imagine being a nurse, walking into a room to check vitals, only to hear, “My man!” in the most convincing Denzel tone ever.

Jamie didn’t just stop at the voice; he embodied the entire essence of Denzel. Rumor has it, he even pointed dramatically at hospital staff and whispered motivational lines like, “You pray for rain, you gotta deal with the mud too.”

This wasn’t Jamie’s first rodeo as Denzel. He’d previously nailed an impersonation during an interview for Grey Goose’s OFF SCRIPT YouTube series, proving he’s got Denzel’s swagger on lock.

The good news? Jamie Foxx is back, better than ever, and still ready to keep us laughing—even if his recovery process sounds like a fever dream directed by Quentin Tarantino.

P.S. If you haven’t seen Jamie’s original Denzel impersonation, go watch it. Trust us, it’ll make your day—no stroke necessary.
