Foxx’s appearance playing pickleball comes just a few weeks after he gave fans an update on his recovery from an undisclosed medical condition that sent him to the hospital in April.
The “Ray” star explained the severity of the issue in a video on social media, saying, “I cannot even begin to tell you how far it took me and how it brought me back. I went through something that I thought I would never, ever go through.”

He continued, adding that he wanted to keep it private because he “didn’t want you to see me like that.”
“I want you to see me laughing, having a good time, partying, cracking a joke, doing a movie, a television show,” he said.
Foxx concluded the video assuring everyone, “I am on my way back.”

On Friday, he shared a message on his Instagram that said, “THEY KILLED THIS DUDE NAME JESUS… WHAT DO YOU THINK THEY’LL DO TO YOU???!” with the added tags of “#fakefriends” and “#fakelove.”
