Hollywood actor Jamie Foxx’s birthday celebration took an unfortunate turn after an altercation at a Beverly Hills restaurant left him needing stitches. Foxx, who was celebrating his 57th birthday at the time, was dining at the upscale Mr Chow restaurant when the incident occurred. According to his representative, a person at a nearby table threw a glass, which struck Foxx in the mouth. As a result, the actor required stitches for his injuries, but is reportedly recovering.
The Beverly Hills Police Department confirmed that officers responded to reports of an assault with a deadly weapon at the restaurant. However, upon arriving, they determined that there had been a physical altercation between two parties. They clarified that the assault reports were unfounded and did not elaborate on the cause of the dispute. While the police did not explicitly name Foxx in their statement, his representative confirmed that the actor had been at the restaurant for his birthday celebration. The altercation occurred around 10:10 p.m., though details about any potential arrests or further developments have not been provided.
The incident at Mr Chow follows a difficult year for Foxx, who had previously faced significant health challenges. In April 2023, Foxx was hospitalized for a medical emergency that led to speculation about his condition. In a recent Netflix special, Foxx opened up about his health scare, revealing that he had suffered a brain bleed, which led to a stroke. The actor explained that he experienced a severe headache one day and asked for an aspirin, but before he could take it, he lost consciousness and “blacked out.” He shared that he could not remember the next 20 days of his life due to the severity of the stroke.
At the time of the hospitalization, Foxx’s daughter, Corinne Foxx, had informed the public that her father had suffered a “medical complication,” but the family had not disclosed further details about his condition. Foxx’s health scare had garnered significant attention, especially given his previous success and beloved roles in Hollywood.
Foxx’s career has spanned decades, with notable roles in films like Ray, Django Unchained, Collateral, and Baby Driver. His portrayal of legendary musician Ray Charles in Ray earned him an Oscar for Best Actor in 2005, a moment that solidified his place in Hollywood. He also received an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor for his role in Collateral, which was released in the same year. Foxx is known for his versatility, having starred in a wide range of films from comedies to action thrillers.
In addition to his acting career, Foxx has dabbled in music and television. He released several albums, with his music career receiving praise from critics, while his television career includes hosting the popular game show Beat Shazam. His other films include Annie, The Amazing Spider-Man 2, and Law Abiding Citizen. Foxx’s ability to excel in both dramatic and comedic roles has made him one of the most recognizable and respected actors in the entertainment industry.
Despite the recent altercation and his previous health issues, Foxx’s resilience remains evident as he continues to recover from both the physical injury and his stroke. His fans and colleagues have shown support during these challenging times, and it is clear that Foxx’s impact on the industry will remain significant. Although the details of the restaurant incident are still unclear, the actor’s recovery and future projects are being closely followed by many.
As for the ongoing investigation, Beverly Hills Police have not provided any further information, including whether any arrests were made following the altercation. The incident serves as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of life, even for well-known figures like Foxx, who have faced their own challenges.
