Foxx said his “road to recovery had some potholes as well, but I’m coming back and I’m able to work.”

Fighting back tears, the Oscar winner said he appreciated “all the love that I got” during the ordeal.

“I’m here on earth because of some great people. I’m here on earth because of God,” he said.

Foxx’s daughter Corinne announced in April that her father had suffered a “Medical complication” but was “already on his way to recovery.”

Foxx was shooting a movie in Atlanta at the time, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Corinne updated fans on her dad’s recovery in May, writing, “My Dad has been out of the hospital for weeks, recuperating. In fact, he was playing pickleball yesterday!”
