Jamie Foxx has renewed appreciation for life after overcoming medical problems last year. He told FOX Business, “I\u2019ve learned that life is precious, which is why it\u2019s important for us to go after what we want.\u201d That desire to not take anything for granted served as an inspiration for this Brown Sugar Blend Whiskey. He said, \u201cFor me, being able to create a brand that brings people together to celebrate life and have fun was the ultimate goal. What more could I ask for?\u201d<\/p>\n

He continued, \u201cBSB Whiskey far exceeds my expectations. And thanks to WES Brands, I\u2019ve been able to make that long-awaited dream a reality.\u201d Last year, the Academy Award-winning actor suffered a medical complication and has slowly made his way back into the public eye with the support of his friends and family. He said in an Instagram post shared in July, “I went through something that I thought I would never, ever go through. I know a lot of people were waiting or wanting to hear updates and to be honest with you \u2013 I just didn’t want you to see me like that.”<\/p>\n

He became emotional thinking of all the love he received in one of his darkest times and said the last few months have been “tough.” He said, “I’ve been sick, man, but now, I’ve got my legs under me, so you’re going to see me out. I’m here on Earth because of some great people. I’m here on Earth because of God.” Now, Foxx is back to work on multiple fronts. On May 28, he’ll be back co-hosting the seventh season of the FOX game show “Beat Shazam” alongside his daughter, Corinne Foxx. The actor also serves as an executive producer on the series.<\/p>\n
