American actor and comedian Jamie Foxx has been in the news for the last few months due to some serious health concerns. Regular updates about his health, however, kept showing some improvements. But, something happened recently that has surprised his fans.
Foxx was recently seen on a boat. He was waving to the person who took the video. If it was actually him, his health was kept private well enough for him to recover and make a public sighting.

TMZ reported that there were more sightings of him in the Chicago area on Saturday. Again, if true, this is great news and everyone is happy to hear about it. However, some fans refrain from believing this. Many fans on social media are claiming that this is a ‘clone’. Most of them are referring to the fact that his stunt double, who was recently seen with Cameron Diaz shooting for a movie, looks very much like him.
One suspicious fan wrote, “That’s not him
You don’t go from an alleged near death medical experience to on a boat
They playing games.”

Foxx was set to play Mike Tyson in the boxing legend’s biopic. A few weeks ago, even Tyson was unsure of Foxx’s health. He said during a ‘Valuetainment’ podcast that life is unpredictable.
Jamie Foxx was hospitalized in April due to an unspecified medical emergency
On April 12. 2023, Foxx’s daughter Corrine issued a statement on Instagram. She wrote, “We wanted to share that my father, Jamie Foxx, experienced a medical complication yesterday.
“Luckily, due to quick action and great care, he is already on his way to recovery. We know how beloved he is and appreciate your prayers. The family asks for privacy during this time.”
The specific medical condition was not revealed. However, it was known that this happened while he was on set for the movie titled ‘Back in Action’.
Meanwhile, the media speculated on various health reasons. It was widely reported that Foxx’s condition was related to the COVID vaccine and blood clots caused by it. Corrine issued another statement in May to quash these rumors.

She wrote on her Instagram story, “Update from the family: Sad to see how the media runs wild. My Dad has been out of the hospital for weeks, recuperating. In fact, he was playing pickleball yesterday! Thanks for everyone’s prayers and support. We have an exciting work announcement coming next week too!”
In May itself, Foxx also took to Instagram to share an update. “All the love… I feel blessed,” he shared.
However, there were still a lot of lingering doubts about his health as he had not shown up in public. Many reports in the media still feared the worse while Foxx’s companions from the acting community kept pouring in support for him.
The latest reports about his sighting are a great relief to all his fans. We expect to see more of him in the coming days.
