AceShowbiz - Jamie Foxx is reportedly still not completely back on his feet despite his recent outings. The 55-year-old actor's condition is "not 100 percent" after he was hospitalized in Atlanta back in April, a source has said.
"Jamie is doing so much better and he's starting to feel like himself again," the source told Us Weekly after the actor was spotted in public multiple times recently, before adding, "He's not 100 percent and is still taking things easy, but he's definitely on the road to recovery."
Jamie's inner circle is apparently making sure that he doesn't push himself too much while he continues recuperating as the source said that he "has a huge support system around him and his friends and family are making sure that he doesn't take on too much."
Though it may take some time to see the Oscar winner returning to his old self, the source noted that the "Spider-Man: Far From Home" star is "feeling really good and is excited to get back to work once the time is right."
Jamie was seen in public for the first time on July 9 since he was hospitalized in April. The "Ray" star was all smiles while cruising along the Chicago River in a large boat on Sunday afternoon with some family members.
He was also seen playing golf at Topgolf driving range's Naperville, Illinois branch over the weekend and helping a woman who lost her purse in Chicago without her knowledge. Later on Tuesday, he was seen playing pickleball with other dudes in Chicago.
Detailing her chance encounter with Jamie, the woman whom he helped in Chicago told PEOPLE, "He hopped out and came toward me, and hopped back in. He looked good. He looked very good. His voice, it was calm. It sounded good to me."
The woman named Terri "Quenni" Glenn, who was in town to accompany her sister Tracey to several doctor's appointments for treatment of her breast cancer, said they were in the pedicab for some sightseeing to lighten the mood when they heard the SUV honking behind them and then it drove up next to them.
"The door opens and we see someone holding the bag as he's stepping out," Glenn said. "I saw it was Jamie holding the bag." Glenn remembered asking the actor, "I said, 'Are you feeling good?' and he said, 'I'm feeling good.' " When she thanked him, he reportedly replied, "You're welcome, baby."
Instead of feeling relieved that he's doing well, some people doubted that it's really Jamie and raised a wild theory that he was cloned. Responding to the speculation, the "Django Unchained" star took to Instagram on Wednesday, July 12 to shut down people's doubt while also promoting his upcoming movie "They Cloned Tyrone". "They didn't clone me but THEY CLONED TYRONE. See you July 21, only on @netflix #TheyClonedTyrone," so he wrote along with the movie's poster.
