Jamie Foxx Says His Doctor Banned Him From Lifting Weights

In an interview with BET News' Danielle Young, Jamie Foxx the 58-year-old actor and comedian revealed that his doctor stopped him from lifting weights years ago and gave him a completely different workout plan. “Man, shit. My doctor banned me from lifting weights. A few years ago. Cause I couldn't hold smy swole,” Foxx said. Foxx traced the decision back to when he was 48 and attempted to get himself back into shape. He recalled spending roughly four hours bench pressing and initially being impressed with the results. “I kind of puffed up. You know what I'm saying? I said, oh yeah, I'm back,” he said. That feeling didn't last long. By the time Foxx walked out to his car and caught a glimpse of himself, he said the pump was already gone. Foxx's approach to his health carries additional significance following the serious medical emergency he suffered in April 2023 while filming Back in Action in Atlanta. The actor later revealed that a brain bleed led to a stroke and an extended hospitalization.
