Jamie Foxx is spotted in good spirits while out to lunch in LA after saying he is ‘FINALLY starting to feel like himself’ after mysterious medical emergency

Jamie Foxx appeared in high spirits as he stepped out for lunch Friday at Sea Casa in Westlake Village, California, after sharing a health update earlier this week.

Despite his recent hospitalization for a non-specific medical complication, the 55-year-old actor looked happier and healthier than ever as he gave onlookers a friendly thumbs up.

As he walked back to his car, the Academy Award winner, who was undergoing physical rehab in Chicago, Illinois, showed off his very toned arms in a black T-shirt.

For his latest field trip, the father-of-two wore a wide-brimmed white hat, aviator sunglasses, Givenchy sweatpants and sneakers.

On Wednesday, he revealed to his Instagram followers that he’s “finally starting to feel like himself again” after his health scare.

While speaking to his 16.8 million followers, he opened up about “an unexpected dark journey.”

Despite the difficulties in his recovery, the artist said he can “see the light” and is “grateful to everyone who reached out and sent well wishes and prayers.”

“I have a lot of people to thank…you just don’t know how much it meant…I will personally thank you all…and if you didn’t know…GOD IS GOOD…all day, every day ‘ he concluded. .

The Strays star also shared multiple photos of herself, including one of himself staring directly into the camera while rocking a crochet bucket hat and white V-neck shirt.

Under the post, fans and many of his famous friends, including Jeremy Renner, left heartfelt comments.

Renner, 52, who nearly died after being crushed by a snowplow in January, wrote, “Brother, I know that feeling!!! It only gets better from here! Thank God❤️❤️❤️❤️’

‘Yes, that’s him!!! Glad you’re better,” Octavia Spencer remarked, while Garcelle Beauvais said, “God is great and so are you! ❤️’

The update came less than a month after Foxx gave his first detailed update on how he’s been doing since being released from the hospital.

Foxx let fans know he’s not “blind” or “paralyzed” in a three-minute emotional recording about his health.

“I experienced something I never thought I would experience. I know a lot of people were (were) waiting or wanted to hear an update, but to be honest, I didn’t want you to think of me as that guy,” he admitted with tears in his eyes.

The actor, who returned to work last month to film a commercial in Las Vegas, continued, “I want you to see me laughing, having fun, partying, joking, making a movie, (or) a television show . ‘

“I didn’t want you to see me with the tubes running out of me trying to figure out if I could make it.”

The father of one child added that he went through “hell and back” to survive and has experienced some “potholes” on his “road to recovery.”

The Beat Shazam host also praised his sister, Deondra Dixon, and daughter, Corinne, 29, for “saving” his life and keeping the details surrounding his hospitalization private.

“To them, to God, to many wonderful medical people, I can leave you this video,” Foxx added. “I can’t tell you how amazing it feels to have your family perform in such a way, and you all know they kept it airtight, they didn’t let anything go, they protected me, and that’s what I hope everyone could have at times like these.’

He then showed how his “eyes work fine” by moving them back and forth, before clarifying that he is “not paralyzed.”

Speaking directly to fans, he said, “I just want to say I love everyone and I love all the love I’ve been given.”

The actor choked as he warned, “If you see me outside from now on and break into tears every once in a while, it’s just because it’s been tough, man. I was sick, man. But now I’ve got my legs under me, so you’re going to look like me.”

“Man, I know they talk about people crying on videos… but I’m not gonna do a take two, it is what it is,” he mused. “Like I said, I want you to remember me for the jokes I make and the movies I make — some are good, some aren’t (I think I put out a good one), and songs I sing.”

“I am here on earth thanks to some wonderful people. I’m here on earth because of God, man,’ the artist concluded. “I’m on my way back.”

Foxx captioned the video: “Thank you a billion to everyone… it’s been a long road but all the prayers, wonderful people and God, got me through it.”

Within an hour, he received over 306,306 likes and thousands of messages from his followers and celebrity friends, including LL Cool J, who said, “So glad to see you again, my brother.”

In July it was reported that the star was in ‘amazing shape’ as he resumed his work commitments, an insider told TMZ.

Another resource added to People: ‘Jamie worked really long days and was perfect. It was like nothing happened. You would never have known (he had a health problem).

Hockey legend Wayne Gretsky — who also stars in the ad — posed with a dapper Foxx and wrote, “One of the best nights of my life with the best person. Big things are coming soon.”

At the time, Foxx also took to Instagram to share a neat photo of herself.

He looked handsome in a stylish black suit as he sat atop a gold BetMGM race car.

Thankful for my @betmgm family and some great nights in Vegas. We’re getting BIG things coming soon,” he wrote in the caption of the post, which was a paid partnership.

Foxx is working on a campaign with BetMGM – a sports betting company associated with MGM Resorts – and will star in their commercials during the football season and beyond.

The Django Unchained star has been spotted a number of times this month, though it was recently reported that he’s still not “100 percent better” after his medical emergency.

Foxx recently threw a party to mark his progress, with guests gathered at the Chicago rehabilitation center where he was on an outpatient basis, a source told me. People.

The source said Foxx “has been working really hard over the past few months to get back to normal and has improved tremendously since he first came into the facility.”

They added that he held the party “to celebrate being better.”

Foxx initially returned to Instagram on May 3 to thank his followers with a text message. Appreciate all the love!!! I feel blessed,” he wrote at the time.

The actor is recovering from an illness that took him off the movie set in April and away from filming Back in Action, in which he stars with Cameron Diaz – and recently delighted fans when he hit the open road healthy and happy.

A source told USWeekly last week: ‘Jamie is doing so much better and he’s starting to feel like himself again. He’s not 100 percent yet and he’s still taking it easy, but he’s definitely on the road to recovery.”

They added that Foxx “has a huge support system around him and his friends and family make sure he doesn’t take on too much.”

“Foxx is feeling really good and looking forward to getting back to work as soon as the time is right.”
