A teary-eyed Foxx continued, “I know a lot of people were waiting or wanting to hear an update but to be honest with you, I didn’t want you to see me like that, man.”
While Foxx didn’t disclose what health issue he had incurred in his video, he did add that he was on the “road to recovery.”
Back in April, his oldest daughter, Corinne, broke the news that her father had been hospitalized for a “medical complication.”
“We wanted to share that, my father, Jamie Foxx, experienced a medical complication yesterday,” the “47 Meters Down: Uncaged” actress, 29, wrote in a statement posted to social media at the time. “Luckily, due to quick action and great care, he is already on his way to recovery.”
Foxx and his family stayed mum about the illness for months following his hospitalization.
However, he checked into a Chicago rehab facility that specializes in stroke recovery, traumatic brain injury rehab, spinal cord injury rehab and cancer rehabilitation.
Although rumors began to swirl that Foxx’s health had taken a turn for the worse, Corinne denied the speculation, saying that her dad “has been out of the hospital for weeks, recuperating.”
Despite the speculation, Foxx has been spotted out and about in the last couple of weeks.
Over the July 4 weekend, the “In Living Color” alum was seen out smiling as he rode on a yacht in Chicago.
The movie star — who is also dad to daughter Annalise, 14 — was also spotted at a Topgolf driving range in Naperville, Ill.
Most recently, he was seen being a Good Samaritan, returning a woman’s lost purse in Chicago.
Foxx suggested that he was ready to get back to work amid his recovery, teasing that “big things” were coming “soon” via his social media Thursday.
