Jamie Foxx's unexpected gesture of returning a lost purse to a woman in Chicago, Terri "Queeni" Glen, on Monday has caught media attention. This encounter marks the actor's third public appearance since speculation arose around his health due to an undisclosed medical situation in April.
Foxx, renowned for his roles in "They Cloned Tyrone" and "Django Unchained," took on the role of a real-life hero as he returned a purse Glen hadn't even realized she had lost. Glen told Fox News Digital about the moment, noting that a honking horn drew her attention to a man emerging from a black town car holding her bag.
Glen immediately recognized both the bag and the man as her own and the star actor, respectively. She was in Chicago in a show of solidarity for her sister, who is battling breast cancer. While retracing her steps, she realized she might have left her purse while touring the city on a pedicab, inadvertently recording Foxx's car in her footage.
Recalling her encounter with the Hollywood actor, Glen shared that she had instinctively moved to hug him, inquiring about his health. Foxx's response, according to her, was simply, "I feel good." This exchange left Glen with the impression that Foxx was genuinely grateful for her concern about his wellbeing rather than a request for a photo.
As Glen recollected the incident, she noted that Foxx seemed to be "strong and well" with no apparent issues with his speech. She captured the entire episode in a video where Foxx can be seen returning to his vehicle after handing her the purse.
Glen commented on Foxx's mobility, saying, "He got completely out of the truck and came over to the little bicycle...He's good. He looks good. He feels good." On the subject of Foxx's ongoing silence regarding his medical condition, Glen suggested that he might be looking to maintain his privacy while fully recovering.
The video Glen shared, she hopes, wouldn't trouble Foxx, given the modern trend of sharing such incidents. The actor's connection to the incident was confirmed by a source close to him.
On Sunday, Foxx was seen enjoying a boat ride on the Chicago River with his daughters, looking healthy and waving to passersby. Another sighting of him at a Topgolf outing in Naperville, Illinois, on Saturday showed him in good spirits, with a source noting that he didn't need physical assistance. However, friends around him were noticeably protective.
The actor and his family have remained silent on the specifics of his medical condition, which required hospitalization and reportedly subsequent rehabilitation. The only information came from Foxx's eldest child, Corinne, who initially announced his health issues in April and later refuted rumors that Foxx had suffered a stroke.
