Jamie Foxx enjoyed a star-studded evening out in London with his daughter Anelise on Thursday night as he promoted his new film.

The actor, 57, made his return to the big screen alongside co-star Cameron Diaz for the Netflix movie, Back In Action, which was released on Friday. 

Jamie wore a baggy grey Gucci jumper with matching tracksuit bottoms, completing the look with white trainers with a lime gum sole and a statement silver chain.

Anelise, 16, meanwhile sported a brown Hellstar graffiti hoodie with matching tracksuit bottoms and had an instant camera attached to her hoodie, while she clasped a pair of headphones.

They were pictured returning to the Chiltern Firehouse, where they may be staying, alongside the likes of Louise Redknapp, who wore a beige jacket over an all-black outfit, and her TV writer boyfriend Drew Michael, who sported a dark grey waxed jacket over a black shirt.

Comedian Jimmy Carr was also present in a navy three-piece suit with a red tie and light blue shirt. He held a tote bag as he exited the venue.

It comes after the Ray actor revealed he thought it was a joke when doctors told him he had been out for 20 days after a stroke caused bleeding on the brain. 

In Friday's upcoming Graham Norton episode, the star speaks out about his terrifying health scare which saw him in a coma following surgery in April 2023. 

Jamie said he 'didn't remember anything' from the time he was rushed into A&E to when he finally came round 20 days later.

'I was very unwell but now I am back feeling good. It makes you realise that you need people that care and love you around to get you through it.

'I didn't remember anything happening so when I came to 20 days later I thought I was being pranked. It was beyond crazy.'

He had been filming for Back In Action when he started experiencing a 'bad headache' in Atlanta and initially was given a cortisone shot, but his sister Deidra Dixon, 'knew something was wrong'.

Deidra drove him to Atlanta's Piedmont Hospital, where he underwent a life-saving procedure. 

The family kept his health battle private at the time, with Jamie only revealing last month what really happened.

Jamie talks about how he thought it was a joke when doctors told him he had been out for 20 days after suffering a stroke caused bleed on the brain on Friday night's Graham Norton

He previously revealed how he vividly remembers waking up from his coma on May 4, and being unable to walk.

He recalled: 'When I woke up, I found myself in a wheelchair. I couldn't walk.'

Yet Jamie didn't want to believe he'd had a stroke and recounted his therapist telling him about his ego: 'You need to kill the old Jamie so the new Jamie can thrive.'

He also reflected: 'God blessed me with money and fame, but when I forgot about God, He blessed me with a stroke.' 

Of his return to the public eye, Jamie told Graham: 'I knew I had to get back and realised the way to do it was by being funny. I told so many jokes people thought I was mad, and then I would act as someone else – for three whole days I was Denzel Washington.' 

And the Spider-Man star raised eyebrows when he jokingly declared that he's done dating white women in a song on Netflix special, released last month. 

He sang he's been 'cured' and is 'back on the black side of town'.

Sitting down at a piano, the Hollywood star sang: 'Sisters, I'm here to tell you, I've been cured.

Jamie has had several high-profile relationships. He enjoyed a six-year romance with Katie Holmes from 2013 to 2019 (pictured: the pair in 2019) 

'I've been cured of everything, no more white girls. I'm serious, no more white girls. No more white girls. No more. No more white girls.'

As audience members applauded and leapt out their seats, Jamie continued: 'I'm back on the Black side of town!

'No more white girls. No more potato salad and raisins. No more white girls. No more spray tan, no more big t*tties no ass, no more white girls.'

Jamie has had several high-profile relationships over the years with both black and white women.

He enjoyed a six-year romance with Katie Holmes from 2013 to 2019.

While many viewers were in hysterics by Jamie's admission, they couldn't help but question his sincerity.

Taking to X, one wrote: 'Interesting. It took a stroke???'

Another said: 'Jamie funny as s**t because he lying like hell LMFAOOOOO.'

Cameron, 52, is making her return to film after a decade-long hiatus

However, things don't go so smoothly for them as their identities become compromised and they are forced to fight and run in order to protect those closest to them 

The Graham Norton Show airs on BBC One on Friday 17th January (Pictured: Jamie, Cameron, Graham Norton, Michelle Yeoh, Jonathan Bailey and Griff)

HOW CAN F.A.S.T SAVE YOU DURING A STROKE?

The main symptoms of stroke can be remembered with the word F.A.S.T.

This will help you more quickly identify someone having a stroke.

  • Face: the face may have dropped on one side, the person may not be able to smile, or their mouth or eye may have dropped.
  • Arms: the person with suspected stroke may not be able to lift both arms and keep them there because of weakness or numbness in one arm.
  • Speech: their speech may be slurred or garbled, or the person may not be able to talk at all despite appearing to be awake.
  • Time: it's time to dial 999 immediately if you see any of these signs or symptoms.

A third added: 'I don't believe him. But I'm going to mind my business.' 

Cameron, 52, is making her return to film after a decade-long hiatus. 

In the comedic spy thriller Jamie and Cameron star as ex-CIA agents who are now married with kids.

They are drawn back into the spy business, however, but things get complicated because their children have no idea what they do for a living.

She said: 'I am back all thanks to Jamie. I had 10 years of not paying attention to anything; not accepting any advances, and then I got this script and thought that maybe it was time. If I was going to leave my family for 10 hours a day I wanted to do it with the most talented man in the entertainment business.

'It is a privilege to make films, and we are all so lucky to do what we do. That the door was even open for me after a decade was amazing. 

'I loved those 10 years for me and my family, but I thought, 'If I let this go away, if I don't engage again, and if I don't give it chance, I am a fool.' 

'It might be the beginning of something, but its here now and I am grateful for it.'

The Graham Norton Show is on BBC One on Friday 17th January at 10.40pm. Also available on BBC iPlayer.
