As theGrio previously reported, there has been much speculation regarding Foxx’s health since his hospitalization. While Foxx’s family and even Foxx himself have released statements regarding his condition, fans have wondered over the last few months why no photos or footage of the actor had been released.

The health emergency occurred while Foxx was shooting his upcoming film with Cameron Diaz, “Back in Action.” His daughter Corinne Foxx shared in a statement at the time, “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.” 

Following the post, Foxx received a wave of support from fans and his Hollywood peers, many taking to social media with messages for the actor.
