Jamie Foxx was a ‘ball of energy’ in one of the first acting gigs since his hospitalization

Jamie Foxx brought his A-game as he returned to work following his mysterious health issue.

Kristen Radford Thom, who worked with the Oscar winner on BetMGM’s latest promotional campaign in July, told People Friday that Foxx was “kind, humble and hilarious — all wrapped up in a ball of energy!”

The actress also said the movie star was comfortable enough with the crew that she simply “opened up” to the casting.

“As private as he is, he was pretty open at our table about his situation without telling us exactly what happened,” Thom added.

“He was the nicest. He was funny. His improvisation skills are unmatched. Everyone laughed at his jokes. He’s talented, in the most natural way.

Geno Burmester, creative director of advertising agency 72andSunny, told the outlet that Foxx “brought his charismatic energy to every take.”

“From the first minute on set, he was laughing and joking with the crew – not forgetting that it was him at the piano, tickling the ivories.”

“He’s also always there, even when the camera is off, telling the crew some of the best stories you’ve ever heard and doing impressions that make you do a double take, they’re so perfect,” exclaimed Burmester.

The same month that Foxx, 55, was having fun on the set of the commercial, he was seen full of life while cruising the Chicago River on a mega-boat in his first public sighting since his hospitalization.

Shortly after, Foxx took to Instagram to share that he had been through “hell and back” during his mysterious illness three months prior.

“I know a lot of people were waiting or wanting to hear an update, but to be honest with you, I didn’t want you to see me like that, man,” the “Ray” star explained.

“I want you to see me laugh, have a good time, party, make a joke, make a movie or TV show. I didn’t want you to see me with my hits missing and trying to figure out if I was going to make it.

While Foxx kept the details of his medical scare close to the chest, the award-winning actor shared in August that he was “finally” returning to his normal self.

“I’m finally starting to feel like myself…it’s been a dark and unexpected journey…but I can see the light,” he shared via Instagram at the time, thanking those who sent him messages. good wishes during his recovery.

Since filming his latest commercial, Foxx has also been spotted enjoying a vacation with his girlfriend, Alyce Huckstepp, in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
