Jamie Foxx is ready to turn tragedy into comedy.

The Oscar-winning actor and comedian, 56, revealed at the African American Film Critics Association awards luncheon on Sunday that he plans to share details about his mysterious 2023 health scare in his stand-up.

"Everybody wants to know what happened, and I'm going to tell you what happened, but I gotta do it in my way," Foxx said, according to a video of the speech uploaded to YouTube. "I'm gonna do it in a funny way."

He indicated he would share these details "on stage" after returning to his "stand-up roots," adding, "I'll tell you in my way."

The "Django Unchained" star was hospitalized last year after experiencing what his family described as a "medical complication." Foxx has never provided details about what led to his hospitalization, but he has since stepped back into the public eye.

At the African American Film Critics Association event, Foxx received the producers award.

In his speech, he said he was grateful to have people in his life "that really made sure I was here" after he was in "dire straits."

Foxx also teased a return to the stage last week, sharing an old clip of his stand-up on Instagram and telling fans he's "planning on bringing more moments" like those.

"Going to get on somebody's stage somewhere near you," Foxx wrote. "I got some jokes, and a story to tell."

Foxx is also set to return to television. On Monday, Fox said he will be back as host and executive producer of the game show "Beat Shazam" when it returns for its seventh season on May 28. Nick Cannon filled in for Foxx following the medical scare.

What Jamie Foxx has said about his health scare: 'Wouldn't wish what I went through on my worst enemy'

In July, the actor shared on Instagram that he "went through something that I thought I would never, ever go through" and didn't want fans to see him "with tubes running out of me and trying to figure out if I was going to make it through."

By December, Foxx made his first major public appearance since his hospitalization when he accepted the Vanguard Award at the Critics Choice Association's Celebration of Cinema & Television: Honoring Black, Latino and AAPI Achievements event in Los Angeles. At the time, he revealed that he "couldn't actually walk" six months earlier.

"It feels good to be here," he said. "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. ... I saw the tunnel. I didn't see the light. It was hot in that tunnel, too; I don't know where I was going.'"
