Jamie Foxx talks new perspective on life as he goes horseback riding a year after suffering medical emergency

Jamie Foxx revealed he has a new perspective on life after surviving a near-death ‘medical complication’ that put him in a 20-day coma and left him unable to walk. 

On Saturday night, the actor, 56, shared a scenic pH๏τo of himself riding a brown and white horse on a picturesque beach in front of an orange sky at sunset. 

The Texas native looked like the picture of health as he rode alongside the ocean while rocking a black graphic t-shirt, several chain necklaces and white sneakers. 

‘The sunset looks different to me now got a ride it out… What had happened was,’ he captioned the image. 

In response to one comment from a fan saying they were so happy to see him doing well, the father-of-two replied with three praying emojis as a sign of graтιтude.

He has since recovered from his unknown medical condition. 

His latest post comes just days after revealing the mantra he ‘lives by’ after his brush with death last year. 

Four days ago, the Oscar winner shared an Instagram post that revealed he tells himself ‘no bad dayz’ to keep moving forward. 

‘This is my mantra after surviving something that I thought I would never go through. My good friend James [V. Barnett], who also happens to be my manager, gave me this phrase. I live by it now,’ he explained. 

‘When you come through the darkness, the light looks brighter. And while I’m at it, I want to say thank you to everyone that sent up a prayer. I needed it.’

Jamie (born Eric Bishop) then urged his 31.2M social media followers to watch his first comedy special in 22 years – Netflix’s Jamie Foxx: What Happened Was… premiering December 10 – ‘if you need a spiritual tune-up.’

Foxx’s Instagram post received supportive comments from celebs like Oppenheimer actor David Krumholtz: ‘Prayers stay up for you, Jamie.’

And Red H๏τ Chili Peppers bᴀssist Flea posted three heart emojis.

In the teaser for his upcoming stand-up special, the In Living Color alum told the crowd: ‘I said, “If I can stay funny, I could stay alive.” I’m back!’

Jamie’s heart and my soul was ‘filled with nothing but pure joy’ after he ‘had an opportunity to tell my side of the story’ over three nights October 3-5 in Atlanta, GA.

‘I haven’t been on stage in 18 years but I needed the stage and I needed an audience that was made up of nothing but pure love and that’s what you were,’ Foxx gushed on October 13.

‘When people ask me is this a stand-up comedy show I say, “No, it’s an artistic explanation of something that went terribly wrong.”‘

In behind-the-scenes snaps, the Grammy winner could be seen playing piano and singing during the What Happened Was special.

Jamie only had eight days left of filming on Seth Gordon’s spy comedy Back in Action – premiering January 17 on Netflix – when he suffered what he thought was just ‘a bad headache.’

‘I’ve been through something. I’ve been through some things,’ Foxx said while accepting the Vanguard Award at the Critics Choice ᴀssociation event on December 4.

‘I cherish every single minute now — it’s different. I wouldn’t wish what I went through on my worst enemy because it’s tough when it’s almost over… when you see the tunnel. I saw the tunnel — I didn’t see the light. It was H๏τ in that tunnel too, I don’t know where I was going. “S***, am I going to the right place?”‘

On the personal front, the life-long bachelor had the support of his newlywed daughter Corinne ‘Foxx’ Marie Bishop, 30; from his relationship with Air Force veteran Connie Kline.

Jamie also leaned on his 16-year-old daughter Anelise Bishop (with former publicist Kristin Grannis) as well as his model girlfriend of 15 months, Alyce Huckstepp.
