‘Jamie Foxx: What Had Happened Was’ Review: Actor Roasts Diddy, Fights Tears as He Talks Life-Altering Stroke in Raw Netflix Special P B P
Off-color jokes like that pepper the heartfelt stories about the people who carried him through his hardest moments. The special was filmed at Atlanta’s Alliance Theater, which is down the street from Piedmont Atlanta Hospital, where his sister Deidra Dixon brought him when she suspected something was seriously wrong with him. Throughout the special, he expresses gratitude for all the medical professionals who helped him, like Dr. Schuette, the “cool whiteboy in a Lakers jersey” who performed his brain surgery at Piedmont, and “Holly,” the no-nonsense physical therapist in Chicago who forced him to swallow his pride in order to learn how to walk again.
Some of the most emotional parts of the special come when Foxx talks about the effects the stroke had on his ego. “I’m Jamie Foxx, I don’t get no strokes,” he recalls thinking as he rejected help and wallowed in self-pity, until Holly told him, “that stroke doesn’t give a f—k about who you are.” She told him that he had to kill the old, arrogant Jamie Foxx in order for the new Jamie to be born. He never says the words “born again,” but it is clear that he sees his stroke as a message from God that he needs to rededicate himself to his faith. “God blessed me with this talent, He blessed me with all this money and all this fame, and when I forgot about God, He blessed me with a stroke,” he says. He alternates this high-minded spiritual talk with lowbrow, self-deprecating stories from his recovery about how his “pickle” didn’t work and he couldn’t wipe his own ass. This is the most humble and vulnerable Jamie Foxx has ever been.
