Renowned actor Jamie Foxx’s 57th birthday celebration took an unexpected turn a year after his recovery from a stroke. This year, his celebrations were abruptly halted as he had to receive medical attention due to an unfortunate incident.
Foxx, an Oscar recipient, was toasting to his birthday at the famed Mr. Chow in Beverly Hills. However, an unexpected event occurred when an individual from another table got involved in a physical altercation with him, as mentioned in a statement released by his spokesperson.
“Jamie Foxx was enjoying his birthday dinner when an individual from another table threw a glass that struck him in the mouth,” the spokesperson reported, as per CNN. “Following the incident, he required stitches and is currently recuperating. The police were alerted, and investigations are ongoing.”
The Beverly Hills Police Department is looking into the incident, which transpired just after 10pm on Friday. It was initially reported as a possible assault with a deadly weapon. However, no arrests were made as the officers “discovered that the reported assault with a deadly weapon was baseless. The incident turned out to be a physical altercation between parties.”
This incident follows Foxx’s Netflix special ‘What Had Happened Was…’ that premiered this week. The show details his traumatic brain bleed and subsequent stroke in April of the previous year. His first public appearance post-stroke was last December when he accepted the Vanguard Award from the Critics Choice Association.
Foxx experienced this health scare while filming his upcoming Netflix action comedy ‘Back in Action’ with co-star Cameron Diaz. The film is set to premier on the streaming platform on January 17.
