Jamie Foxx Waves to Fans From Boat in First Public Sighting Since Hospitalization

Jamie Foxx has been spotted in public for the first time since suffering a medical emergency that hospitalized him in April.

In a photo obtained by TMZ Sunday, Foxx is seen on a boat in the Chicago River, waving to onlookers in apparent good health.

TMZ also reported that it had viewed footage of the actor out Saturday night in Chicago; again allegedly appearing in good spirits.

Back in April, the Academy Award winner's daughter Corinne Foxx issued a statement on behalf of her family that the actor was recovering after suffering a "medical complication." She added in the since-deleted Instagram post, "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."

In May, Foxx broke his silence on social media since the emergency, writing, "Appreciate all the love!!! Feeling blessed." 

Last month, the actor's rep refuted unsubstantiated claims that Foxx's medical emergency was the result of him having a stroke after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine, calling the claims "completely inaccurate" in a statement to The Messenger. 

At the end of last month, actor John Boyega shared that Foxx was on the mend. "He finally picked up the phone. Thank you, bro," he told People at the Hollywood premiere of their film, They Cloned Tyrone. "He's doing well. And then, you know, we just giving him the privacy, and we can't wait for his return."
