Jamie Foxx revealed his nurse told him that he had a 5 percent chance of surviving the medical emergency that almost took his life in 2023.

Jamie Foxx reveals how close he was to death after his medical emergency, recalling a story from his time in the hospital to Variety while at the 2025 Golden Globes on Sunday night.

Jamie Foxx is a “five-percenter,” and by that, we mean he only had a 5% chance of surviving his health scare last year. Appearing at tonight’s Golden Globes, Foxx told Variety that one of his nurses called him a “five-percenter” because “less than 5% of people that have what you have walk out of here” with the severity of stroke that he had.
