CHICAGO, ILLINOIS: Despite several public appearances, Jamie Foxx's recovery from a mystery medical emergency remains ongoing as revealed by recent reports. The Oscar-winning actor, who was forced to take a break from filming 'Back in Action' in April, has been spotted looking healthy and happy in public.

However, sources close to Foxx confirm that he is still not fully recovered and continues to take things easy as he progresses on the road to recovery. An unnamed source informed USWeekly, "Jamie is doing so much better, and he's starting to feel like himself again. He's not 100% and is still taking things easy, but he's definitely on the road to recovery."

Foxx has a strong support system in place

The source added that Foxx has a strong support system in place, with friends and family ensuring he doesn't overexert himself. While Foxx's recent public appearances, including playing pickleball, golfing, and reuniting a woman with her lost handbag, have delighted fans, his health status remains a priority. Concerns arose when his daughter announced on Instagram that he experienced a medical emergency while filming in Georgia.

Though she reassured everyone that he was on the path to recovery, the exact details of his condition have not been disclosed. The current status of 'Back in Action' in which Foxx stars alongside Cameron Diaz remains uncertain.

'Cameron has not spoken to Jamie at all'

Close friends of Diaz shared insights about the project stating that even she was unsure about what was happening. "Cameron has not spoken to Jamie at all and does not know anything other than what she hears," an insider revealed. The film, which marked Diaz's return to Hollywood after a hiatus, has faced significant challenges, including on-set drama prior to Foxx's hospitalization. Although the filming for 'Back in Action' has been completed, there are reportedly major setbacks in post-production. The Netflix-funded movie's outcome hangs in the balance, leaving Diaz and others involved uncertain about its future.

'I believe when he's ready, he's going to address the awaiting fans in the world'

While Foxx has not publicly addressed his medical condition, close friend Nick Cannon praised Foxx's professionalism and privacy. Cannon said, "One thing I've always respected about how Jamie's moved throughout his entire career if you've noticed, he's always been somebody who is extremely professional and extremely private." He added, "I believe when he's ready, he's going to address the awaiting fans in the world [about his health] the way that only he can."
