Jamie Foxx is opening up about the bizarre conspiracy theories he encountered while recovering from his 2023 hemorrhagic stroke.

During an interview with Big Boy, the 58-year-old entertainer recalled secretly accessing his phone while in rehab and stumbling across online claims that he had been cloned.

Foxx admitted the theories seemed believable at the time, particularly while he was taking medication that contributed to hallucinations. He recalled even believing he saw another version of himself walk into his hospital room, sharing:

“Then I saw me walk in. I thought I saw me walk into my room,”

The actor also remembered thinking the media was trying to create a “white version” of him to appeal to international audiences.

According to Foxx, a psychiatrist eventually reviewed his medication and reduced his dosage; he recalls:

“He [psychiatrist] come in and he goes, ‘You all right?’ I said, Am I all right, or am I all white? And he’s like, ‘What?’ I said, year, I saw what you did. You trying to get the honky Jamie Foxx. It aint gonna happen. And then he looks at my medicine stuff he says, ‘I think we’r gonna lower your dosage.’ I said, what you mean? ‘Yeah, you’re high as f*ck.'”

Foxx shared the story while promoting his new Hulu stand-up special, ‘Jamie Foxx: Take Care of Yourself.’ (
