AceShowbiz - On Friday the 13th, Jamie Foxx's birthday dinner at the renowned Mr. Chow restaurant in Beverly Hills took a shocking twist. The "Collateral" actor was hit in the face by a glass during an altercation, resulting in him needing stitches.

A spokesperson for Foxx told USA TODAY, "Jamie Foxx was at his birthday dinner when someone from another table threw a glass that hit him in the mouth. He had to get stitches and is recovering."

The incident, initially reported as an assault with a deadly weapon, prompted a call to the Beverly Hills Police Department (BHPD). According to a press release obtained by Page Six, law enforcement responded to Mr. Chow at 10:06 p.m. They confirmed the incident "involved a physical altercation between parties," but no arrests were made. The BHPD continues its investigation into the matter.

This surprising event came shortly after Foxx's recent health scare. In April 2023, while working on the Netflix film "Back in Action," he was hospitalized for a "medical complication."

The details remain private, but the actor spent weeks in recovery, eventually moving to a rehabilitation center. Celebrities and fans shared overwhelming support during his recovery, with Foxx later posting on Instagram to thank everyone for their prayers and to dismiss rumors of severe issues.

Despite these challenges, Foxx has remained resilient. He recently took to the stage for his new Netflix comedy special, "Jamie Foxx: What Had Happened Was," where he candidly discussed his health battle and expressed gratitude to fans.

"If I can stay funny, I can stay alive," Foxx quipped during the special. This marks his first major solo release in 2024, following his involvement in other projects, such as co-producing the Luther Vandross documentary, "Luther: Never Too Much."

Foxx's birthday celebration at Mr. Chow's, attended by his daughters Corinne and Anelise and his ex Kristin Grannis, was meant to be a night of joy and reflection. Speaking outside the restaurant prior to the incident, Foxx shared his gratitude for another birthday following his near-death health scare. "It's beautiful because I didn't know if I would be here to celebrate it," he told photographers.

While the altercation has cast a shadow over his birthday festivities, Jamie Foxx's resilience and positive outlook continue to inspire. His story serves as a reminder of the human spirit's capacity to overcome adversity and embrace life with humor and gratitude.
