In a heartwarming act of kindness, Hollywood star Jamie Foxx has once again proven that he's not just a hero on-screen. The Oscar-winning actor was recently spotted in Chicago, where he returned a lost purse to a woman, an act that was captured in a video that has since gone viral.

The video, shared by a fan, shows Foxx in a chauffeur-driven SUV pulling up next to a group of people on a pedicab tour of downtown Chicago. The group was profusely thanking Foxx for returning a purse that one of them had lost. The fan who posted the video said his mother had misplaced her handbag, and Foxx had found it and managed to locate the group to return it.

In the video, Foxx can be seen handing over the purse to the woman, after which he gets back into his vehicle and departs, leaving behind a grateful and surprised group. The woman can be heard shouting, "Thank you, Jamie," as Foxx's SUV pulls away.

This act of kindness comes on the heels of Foxx's recent health scare that had him hospitalized in Georgia. After being discharged, the 55-year-old actor checked into a premier physical rehabilitation center in Chicago, where he has been receiving treatment. Despite his health challenges, Foxx has been seen out and about in the city, even participating in a promotional event for his alcohol brand, Brown Sugar Bourbon, on a boat on the Chicago River.

Foxx's recent public appearances and his act of kindness in Chicago have reassured fans about his recovery. His daughter, Corinne, has also confirmed that her father has been out of the hospital for weeks, dispelling rumors about his health.

Foxx's representatives have not disclosed the exact nature of his health issues but have dismissed rumors linking his hospitalization to the COVID-19 vaccine as "completely inaccurate." As Foxx continues his recovery, his recent actions in Chicago have shown that he remains the same kind-hearted and helpful individual that his fans know and love.
