A jovial Jamie Foxx was spotted publicly for the first time since suffering a "medical complication" in April, acknowledging fans and pumping his fist in the air as he sat on the bow of a large boat in Chicago.
In a video shared by TMZ, Foxx is seen cruising along the Chicago River on Sunday, accompanied by a fleet of people.
Wearing a collared shirt and dark shades, Foxx gave fans the peace sign before waving.

Representatives for Foxx did not immediately return Fox News Digital's request for comment, although the star tweeted about his outing.
"Boat life," he tweeted with a fox emoji. Foxx also noted he's "celebrating summer" with his alcohol brand Brown Sugar Bourbon, ending his tweet with "Stay blessed."
Last month, a representative for Foxx did publicly admonish a report that Foxx's "medical complication" was due to a COVID vaccine booster.
His rep told NBC News that the report was "completely inaccurate."

Foxx and his inner circle have remained relatively tight-lipped on the actor's condition since an initial announcement came from his daughter, Corrine, in April.
"Luckily, due to quick action and great care, he is already on his way to recovery," Foxx's daughter wrote, in a since deleted Instagram post.
