Jamie Foxx’s recovery has him feeling more and more like himself, the actor revealed in a recent update. In April, the 55-year-old was hospitalized following a medical complication and has since shared brief updates on his recovery without revealing any specifics about the situation. “You’re lookin at a man who is thankful… finally startin to feel like myself,” Foxx wrote in an Instagram caption. “It’s been an unexpected dark journey… but I can see the light.”

Last month, Foxx shared that the reason he kept the ordeal so private was that he didn’t want people to see him in the state he was in. “I want you to see me laughing, having a good time, partying, cracking a joke, doing a movie, television show,” he shared in a video. “I didn’t want you to see me with tubes running out of me, and trying to figure if I was gonna make it through.”

At the time of his hospitalization. Foxx’s daughter Corinne Foxx shared a statement requesting privacy for their family as he recovered. When no updates came for weeks afterward, concern grew for the status of the beloved actor’s health, and misinformation began to spread about what had happened. Now, Foxx has been handling the narrative around the scare himself.

“I’m thankful to everyone that reached out and sent well wishes and prayers,” he continued on Instagram. “I have a lot of people to thank… u just don’t know how much it meant… I will be thanking all of you personally… and if you didn’t know… GOD IS GOOD… all day every day… #swipeleft #imbackandimbetter #nobaddays.”

In the comment section, Foxx’s peers shared their love. “Glad you’re better,” Octavia Spencer wrote. Tina Lawson added: “I along with the world pray for you regularly you are such a special an such a gift to the world of entertainment.”
