Jamie Foxx Cries Recalling Daughter Corinne’s Support After His Stroke: ‘She Handled It’

Foxx said Corinne dropped everything to manage his recovery and shield him from online speculation, while a doctor told him she saved his life.

  • On Tuesday, actor Jamie Foxx credited his 32-year-old daughter, Corinne Foxx, with saving his life during his recovery from a 2023 brain bleed and stroke.
  • Foxx now calls Corinne "Michael Corleone" to honor the protective, authoritative role she played when his health was in danger, referencing The Godfather character who takes control when his father faces threats.
  • Corinne shielded her father from intense media scrutiny and internet conspiracy theories, noting "it's not that interesting actually, what it is is a human thing" and that releasing medical information was not her place.
  • A doctor stated, "She's the reason that you're here," while praising her management of inquiries from TMZ and other outlets while Foxx was incapacitated.
  • Beyond recovery, the pair continue their professional partnership with Corinne leading Foxxhole Productions, the company she was promoted to head in February, developing scripted and unscripted programming.
