Jamie Foxx Makes First Public Appearance Since Hospitalization?


Has Jamie Foxx made his first public appearance since being hospitalized in April?

“Boat life. Celebrating summer with @brownsugarbbn. Stay blessed!” Foxx said in his first tweet since March 14th.

TMZ obtained footage of what appears to be the actor and singer making his first public outing in months.

In the video, Foxx appears to be waving to fans from a boat on the Chicago River Sunday afternoon.

Here’s the footage TMZ released:

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.

Now, hopefully, all those rumors can be put to rest … because the guy seems to be well on his way to achieving full health again. Still no word on what exactly happened to him that sent him to the ER in the first place, but the point is — he seems primed for a comeback.

Here’s another positive update TMZ can provide … we’ve seen more footage of Jamie spending a night out on the town in the Chicago area Saturday, getting active on his feet, no less, and looking to be in great spirits there too.

Jamie Foxx’s condition since reportedly suffering a stroke has been a mystery the past few months.

WLTReport has noted the conflicting reports of Foxx being partially paralyzed versus playing pickleball.

Obviously, one of those reports had to be false.

Honestly, this footage probably won't quell rumors that Foxx suffered a very serious medical complication.

The video isn't exactly a 'crystal-clear' image of Foxx and he's also wearing sunglasses.

WLTReport noted a spotting of Jamie Foxx's body double on the set of “Back in Action."

So, will this 'footage' of Foxx hush the circulating rumors about his health?

I don't believe so.

"Jamie Foxx filmed NOT walking, NOT talking, and only waving with one arm, all of which is consistent with a stroke victim who still has motor control over half his body, but not so much the other half. We hope he heals quickly, but those who think this is proof that he's all fully recovered now are kidding themselves," said Mike Adams, aka "The Health Ranger."

Many social media users aren't convinced Jamie Foxx is fully recovered from his hospitalization.

We've seen speculation online that the video features a body double, clone, or that it's AI.

We don't know what's going on.

The conflicting, confusing reports the past few months have only fueled further speculation and rumors.
