Jamie Foxx makes first public appearance, months after health scare

Jamie Foxx, a well-known American actor, was spotted by admirers on a boat tour in Chicago on Sunday.

In viral videos, the actor could be seen driving by in a speed boat while waving to cheering fans.

Following a medical issue in April that had him bedridden for weeks, this is his first appearance in public.

When Foxx was taken to the hospital, he was filming “Back in Action” with co-star Cameron Diaz.

While his family and friends kept the details of his condition a secret, they sought prayers from well-wishers. Fans got more agitated when a report went viral in May, suggesting that Jamie’s family members were preparing for the worst as his health had turned critical.

However, Foxx’s daughter, Corrinne came out to debunk the rumours, stating that the 55-year-old returned home from the hospital weeks after hospitalisation and was in good health.

She also revealed that the TV personality was fit to resume work, and announced the scheduled launch of their new game show, “We Are Family”.

Asides from gratitude messages to fans on his social media pages, the actor is yet to officially address the health issue himself.
