The actor recently recovered from a health scare last year. In April 2023, Fox was hospitalized after an apparent medical complication. In a Netflix special released earlier this month, Fox revealed that he suffered a brain hemorrhage that led to a stroke.
“I want you to see me laughing, having a good time, partying, joking, doing a movie, a TV show. I didn’t want you to see me with pipes leaking out of me trying to figure out if I was going to make it,” he said in his What happened was stand-up special. “I can’t tell you how great it is to have your family involved like that and you all know they kept it tight, they didn’t let anything go, they protected me and that’s what I hope everyone can have in times like these.”
Fox further noted that “we still don’t know what happened to me,” noting that he remembers having a bad headache before his memory faded.
“I don’t remember 20 days. What they told me was that they took me to the first doctor and that first doctor gave me a cortisone shot and sent me home,” Fox added. “What the hell is this? I don’t know if you can do Yelps for doctors, but this is half a star.
