Jamie Foxx smiles and waves as he is seen for the first time since mysterious health scare

Jamie Foxx was spotted for the first time since he was hospitalised back in April.

The 55-year-old smiled and waved at fans and even threw up a peace sign as he cruised down the Chicago River on a boat over the weekend.

It was announced that the actor, 55, was hospitalised back in April after having experienced what was referred to by his daughter Corinne Foxx, 29, as a "medical complication".

He's thought to have later spent time in a physical rehab centre, following the health issue which is said to have occurred whilst he was working on Netflix film Back in Action.

In the video footage, he wore an all-black outfit and aviator sunglasses and smiled brightly at fans who had seen him for the first time since the health scare. He has yet to publicly address his health struggle.

There have since been some updates about his recovery from those close to him, with it now claimed that Jamie - whose credits include the films Ray (2004) and Django Unchained (2012) - is "still not himself".

Discussing the actor's health, a source told People magazine this week: "He is getting the best care and working hard to recover right now, but he is still not himself."

The source further stated that those close to Jamie remain tight-lipped about his health, with them telling the outlet recently: "He has the tightest circle around him".

The remarks come after John Boyega, 31 - who stars alongside Jamie in the upcoming film They Cloned Tyrone (2023) - shared an update about his co-star.

He spoke about Jamie - who is also credited as a producer on the film, which is due to be released on Netflix next month - whilst at the premiere in Los Angeles earlier this month.

John, who had previously expressed interest in speaking to his co-star amid news of his health issue, told the outlet whilst at the event: "He finally picked up the phone."

The actor continued: "He's doing well." John said that he is giving Jamie privacy and "can't wait" for his return, with him adding that he expressed "all the well wishes" to him.
