In a heartfelt caption accompanying a series of personal photos, the “Back in Action” star conveyed his gratitude for the support he received during his unexpected and arduous journey toward recovery.
“You’re lookin at a man who is thankful… finally startin to feel like myself… it’s been an unexpected dark journey… but I can see the light,” Jamie Foxx shared while emphasizing his newfound feeling of resemblance to his true self and acknowledging the light at the end of his recent struggles.

Thank God❤️❤️❤️❤️,” while Garcelle Beauvais and Octavia Spencer both praised his resilience and the role of faith in his recovery.
Foxx initially broke his silence about his health status on May 3 with a written message on Instagram, expressing his appreciation for the support he received. He further elaborated on his experiences through a video message in July, explaining his reasons for not updating his fans about his health condition during his hospitalization. He admitted that the experience was something he never anticipated, and while he refrained from sharing the details of his health scare, he dispelled speculations about blindness and paralysis, confirming his ability to return to work.
“I went through something that I thought I would never ever go through,” Foxx said. “I know a lot of people were waiting and, you know, wanting to hear updates but to be honest with you, I just didn’t want you to see me like that.”
