Jamie Foxx is back in action and in front of the cameras for the first time since his medical crisis. The Hollywood veteran shot a brand new commercial for BetMGM at the Aria Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, marking his return to work after almost four months of recovery and rehab. Sources from TMZ revealed that Foxx was in amazing shape, showing no signs of physical ailment during the shoot.
Behind-the-scenes pictures from the commercial shoot showed Foxx looking focused and sitting in the cockpit of a golden F1 race car. The commercial is set to air just before the NFL season kicks off, showcasing Foxx’s talent and star power for BetMGM.
Foxx himself shared a picture from the shoot on his social media, tagging BetMGM and hinting at “BIG things coming soon.” His daughter, Corinne Foxx, also shared a behind-the-scenes shot of them together, expressing her pride in her father’s return to work.
During the shoot, Foxx had the pleasure of meeting hockey legend Wayne Gretzky, who is also featured in the ad. Gretzky described the experience as “One of the best nights of my life with the greatest person. Big things coming soon.”
Earlier this month, Foxx was spotted enjoying various activities, such as playing golf at Topgolf, assisting in recovering lost purses in Chicago, and breaking a sweat on the pickleball court, signifying his ongoing recovery.
Foxx had experienced a medical emergency while working on a Netflix film in Atlanta back in April, which led to him being rushed to a hospital. The exact details of the medical crisis have not been disclosed. He underwent a lengthy physical rehab process in Chicago to regain his strength and health.
