Jamie Foxx, the 58-year-old Oscar-winning actor, has become the latest internet meme after photos of him on a tennis court surfaced online. The images, taken on Saturday, August 8, in Westlake, California, show Foxx enjoying a tennis match. At one point, he lifted his t-shirt and used it as a towel to wipe his face during a round of play, exposing his protruding belly.
Social Media Reactions: 'More Pregnant Than His Girlfriend'
Many social media users reacted to the photos, with several commenting that Foxx looks more pregnant than his girlfriend, who is currently expecting his third child. The comparisons quickly turned the actor into a trending topic, with memes and jokes flooding platforms. The lighthearted reaction contrasts with the actor's well-documented health struggles in recent years.
Three Years After a Near-Death Stroke
Foxx's tennis outing comes three years after he nearly died from a stroke caused by a bleed on the brain. The actor opened up about the harrowing experience in his Netflix special, Jamie Foxx: What Had Happened Was…, which was released in 2024. In the special, he described how the ordeal began as a bad headache before doctors informed his sister about the brain bleed. The Django Unchained star woke up 20 days after undergoing surgery.
Reflecting on the experience, Foxx said: “It was kind of oddly peaceful. I was in that tunnel. It was hot in that tunnel.” His recovery has been closely followed by fans, making his recent appearance on the tennis court a notable sign of his improved health.
Impact and Public Response
The viral photos have not only sparked humor but also served as a reminder of Foxx's resilience. While the memes focus on his appearance, many fans have expressed relief to see him active and enjoying life after his health scare. As of now, Foxx has not publicly responded to the memes, but the images continue to circulate widely across social media platforms.
