Jamie Foxx recounted his experience of last year’s medical emergency on his Netflix special, Jamie Foxx: What Had Happened Was. He admitted that the incident remains a mystery to him, and he still has yet to understand what happened to him. The 56-year-old said he suffered a brain bleed that led to a stroke, which the doctor said could have led to his death without a quick surgery. After the operation, the physicians assured him of a full recovery, warning that the months ahead would be tough on his health. What happened to Jamie Foxx? Jamie Foxx/ImageCollect Jamie Foxx went into detail about his health scare on his Netflix special, noting that it all began with a bad headache. His sister, Deidra Dixon, drove him around Atlanta to find a hospital as things worsened. Jamie Foxx told the Netflix special audience that he initially asked for aspirin but changed his mind about self-medicating. Jamie Foxx had his surgery at Piedmont Hospital, but his presence was kept secret because he looked so dizzy, and his daughter Corrine feared that he might become a social media meme if caught on camera. The iconic actor said he could not remember 20 days and was shocked to hear what happened to him from friends and family. Jamie Foxx/ImageCollect Jamie Foxx’s Netflix special: what to expect Jamie Foxx admitted on his Netflix special that he only remembered waking up in a wheelchair on May 4, unable to walk. He could not believe he had a stroke and immediately left Atlanta for Chicago to undergo rehabilitation to relearn and practice his motor skills. Jamie Foxx/ImageCollect Jamie Foxx defended his reason for hiding what happened last year, noting that he did not want fans to see him in a pitiful position. The health crisis had happened while he was filing another Netflix film, Back In Action, which also stars Cameron Diaz.

Kurt Russell landed the role of stuntman Mike in Death Proof, although he did not expect that director Quentin Tarantino would select him for the part. Thanks to his industry colleague and friend Freddy Rodriquez, Kurt was able to impress Quentin. Kurt and Quentin worked together multiple times after Death Proof, establishing an admirable work relationship. In 2019, the renowned director told Entertainment Weekly that Kurt was the youngest person he could work with who could relate to some of his storylines. How did Kurt Russell start working with Quentin Tarantino? Kurt Russell/Everett Freddie called to warn Kurt that Quentin would approach him with an offer to star in Death Proof. He added that the role was originally meant for Mickey Rourke or Ving Rhames. As expected, Quentin presented his offer, selling the character stuntman Mike to Kurt, who accepted. Death Proof tells the story of a stunt wheelman who uses his car to harm and murder women in crashes until a group of his last victims fight back. Death Proof is not one of Quentin’s best works, but it opened the door for better hit movies from Kurt and Quentin. Quentin Tarantino with Kurt Russell/Everett Kurt Russell and Quentin Tarantino collaborate again Quentin asked Kurt to consider his role as stuntman Mike a part of his classic rogues gallery, and the actor obliged. The duo will cross paths again eight years later for The Hateful Eight, which stars Kurt as bounty hunter John “Hangman” Ruth. It showed Quentin’s range as it was a successful Western receiving multiple Oscar nominations for Best Supporting Actress and Best Cinematography. Kurt Russell/Everett Kurt and Quentin last collaborated in 2019 on Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, with the former playing narrator and stunt coordinator Randy. Kurt has gushed about the adventurous feeling of working with Quentin, noting that he was fun to see in action.

Paul McCartney’s son, James McCartney, is under fire after the release of his latest song, “Cherub,” which he performed with his guitar in a silk dress shirt, grey pants, and no shoes. He shared his rendition with his Instagram followers, but the responses were mostly disheartening. The 47-year-old urged fans to listen to “Cherub” as part of his Beautiful Nothing. “Here’s a little acoustic rendition of my new song ‘Cherub’. You’ll find the full version of my collection of songs ‘Beautiful Nothing’ at the link in bio,” her caption read. James McCartney gets trolled by the internet             View this post on Instagram                         A post shared by James McCartney (@jamesmccartneyofficial)   James’ video got reactions ranging from jest to admiration, and some thought he was trying too hard to match up with his father. “I can’t imagine the pressure of being the child of one of the greatest songwriters ever. I would become a lawyer or something,” someone said. Another outrightly said James’ singing was so bad that he should be nowhere near music. “Good god…stop. People know this is bad…Right? You can hear it’s bad …can’t you??” a third person echoed, while another person suggested that he take singing and guitar classes. James McCartney and Paul McCartney/Instagram James McCartney’s music career James is a self-taught guitarist and pianist, having watched his dad play growing up. He has collaborated with the Beatles frontman on several occasions, including tours and solo albums Flaming Pie and Driving Rain, where he played drums and co-wrote lyrics. James McCartney/Instagram He began pursuing his solo music career in his thirties, releasing three albums—Me, Time Will Tell, and The Blackberry Trains, but with no commercial success. He has previously admitted that living up to The Beatles is tough work, and he prefers to do his own thing. James was estranged from Paul in the late 2000s after his mother Linda died, and his father took another wife, Heather Mills. Father and son are now best of friends and collaborators.
