Jamie Foxx Says 'We Got Big Things Coming Soon' 

Foxx shared a gorgeous photo on Instagram, marking the first picture featuring him since his hospitalization in April. The actor, sporting a snazzy black suit and tie, struck a pose next to a Formula One car with "BETMGM" all over it. 

The "Django Unchained" star could be seen smiling while sitting on the car with his right foot on the tire and a helmet next to him.

Foxx captioned the post, "Thankful for my @betmgm family and a great few nights in Vegas. We got BIG things coming soon."

After sharing his photo on his Instagram page, several fans took to the comment section to show how happy they were to have the star back on social media.

One fan wrote, "Broo, we've been missing you so much on social media, especially Instagram! It's a huge joy to know that you're well and back with your amazing posts." They continued, "Your talent and charisma are Inspiring, and we look forward to more wonderful content from you. Take care and keep shining!"

Another wrote, "Love you so much," while others just shared Goat emojis, implying that Foxx is the "greatest of all time."

Amid the happy messages, other fans threw doubt on the news about the actor's recovery, with some even calling to question his recent public sightings.

One concerned fan wrote, "I don't understand why you haven't talked to your fans yet? You used to talk to us all the time. This doesn't make any kind of sense." A second person asked, "Can you go live, Sir, to reassure your fans? WE LOVE YOU."

Foxx's daughter, Corinne, had previously shut down false reports on her father's health, emphasizing that he was doing well. Her statement greatly contrasted with a claim at the time that the actor's family was preparing for the worst. 

The "Beat Shazam" co-host wrote on her Instagram stories, "Update from the family: Sad to see how the media runs wild. My dad has been out of the hospital for weeks, recuperating. He was playing pickleball yesterday! Thanks for everyone's prayers and support."
