He won his Oscar for playing Ray Charles in the 2004 movie “Ray.” Another photo showed him appearing to hug a fan. He continued, “But thanks to the great people in Atlanta especially piedmont hospital you enabled me to come back and be on stage and do what I love to do the most… #nobaddays as my guy James would say #secondchance thank you ATLANTA,” he finished, along with a string of heart emojis and peach emojis for Georgia.

In the photos, Foxx could be seen looking emotional and wiping his eyes. Foxx has been gradually returning to the spotlight since he suffered an unspecified health crisis in April 2023.

The medical emergency forced him to step away from filming a movie and hosting the Fox game show, “Beat Shazam.” His daughter Corinne, who was also on “Beat Shazam” with him, stepped away too at the time.
