Jamie Foxx Spotted On A Boat Looking Great

For months, the public has been wondering about Jamie Foxx’s health. Rumors flew wild earlier this year while his daughter insisted he was doing well and even playing basketball.

On social media, people claimed to know that Jamie was deathly ill or already dead. However, On Sunday afternoon Foxx was photographed in public for the first time since his hospitalization in April.

TMZ shared footage of Foxx in a boat sailing on the Chicago River. The Academy Award winner, looking healthy and excited, waved to fans on a passing boat. It wasn’t clear who the other guests on the boat were, but here’s TMZ:

Jamie Foxx’s road to recovery seems to be going very well, ‘cause the guy’s out and about in public now … with TMZ getting the first glimpse of him since his hospitalization.

Check out this footage we’ve obtained, showing a cheerful JF cruising along on a mega-boat on the Chicago River Sunday afternoon … looking pretty vibrant, and happy to see fans as well. A neighboring vessel passed him by and gave him a big hurrah … Jamie waved back.

He appeared to be accompanied by a few others onboard as well … and at first glance, it seems there were some members of his family around. They’ve been at his side throughout this entire ordeal — and we know they’ve been visiting him too as he rehabs in ChiTown.

The difference here … we’re finally getting a clear view of Jamie in the flesh, which is encouraging. Frankly, there’s been a lot of speculation about his condition … and the longer he went out of the public eye, the greater the conjecture would grow. Folks have been worried.

In April, Foxx was admitted to a hospital in Atlanta after a “medical complication.” Rumors about Foxx’s health spun out of control on social media, but even so-called experts helped spread speculation. Earlier this year, for example, The Root reported that reality host Dr. Drew invited New York Daily News gossip columnist A.J. Benza on his online show to discuss Foxx’s health. Benza claimed Foxx suffered a stroke which left him partially blind. He also blaimed it on Covid-19.

The Root wrote:

He also alleged that Foxx was forced to get the vaccine to work on his Netflix film, Back in Action. Benza claimed he got this information from an unknown anonymous source.

In June, Foxx’s rep finally cleared the air, saying in an exclusive statement to NBC News, the allegation is “completely inaccurate,” although he didn’t provoide clarifications on the cause of the star’s condition.

Prior to these claims and rumors, Foxx’s daughter Corrine took to social media to refute other rumors that her father was on his death bed.
