Anelise, who Foxx shares with ex-girlfriend Kristin Grannis, cut a quirky figure in a gray plaid suit.

He paired it with a blue and white button-down shirt, a brown satin bow tie, and brown leather loafers.

Anelise had a fringed suede bag slung over her body and retro-inspired round sunglasses over her eyes.

The teenager seemed proud of her father, who suffered a stroke caused by a brain hemorrhage in April 2023. The ordeal caused Foxx to lose his memory for 20 days while he lay in a coma.

Foxx detailed the dramatic health scare, after keeping it private for more than a year, in her Netflix special, Jamie Foxx: What Happened Was…, which premiered in December.

In the one-hour special, Foxx said his daughter Anelise was his ‘spiritual defibrillator’ and credited her with saving his life.

He began: ‘They said at one point, the first 15 days, they thought they were going to lose me because my vitals were out of control.

“There was a period of 13 or 14 days where they said, ‘We have to keep him calm and we have given him all the medications we can.’ It’s not working, we have to keep him calm because his vital signs are so high that we are going to lose him.” .’

‘You know what’s the worst thing you can have in a hospital room when you’re trying to stay calm? Black family members.

“That’s when a miracle happened, and that miracle was being worked through my youngest daughter.”

Jamie said Anelise, who he shares with psychotherapist Kristin Grannis, snuck into my hospital room with her guitar.

He continued: ‘They said when she played, my vitals went down.

‘The nurses at the nursing station were bewildered. Like, ‘Wow, what did they give him?’

‘They ran into the room and she said, ‘Ssh. I have it.’

‘Do you know what I discovered? That God was in that guitar. That’s my spiritual defibrillator.’

During this emotional moment, Anelise came out on stage with her guitar.

“Thank you so much for stepping forward when all was lost,” Jamie said.

“You had to do it because I always dreamed that one day we would perform together on stage,” he responded.

The new action comedy, directed by Seth Gordon, 48, serves as a comeback for both Jamie and Cameron, as Jamie suffered a stroke in 2023 and Cameron stopped acting for family reasons in 2014.

Previously, Diaz told Empire that she returned to acting solely to work with Jamie again after Any Given Sunday and Annie.

She said: “I thought if I was going to come back and make a movie, the only person I would go back and make it with would be this guy (Foxx).”

‘Oh really. I had other opportunities along the way and I was always like, “No. I’m not doing it, I already told you… What? Jamie asked? Jamie? Oh, I can do a movie with Jamie!”

The film’s cast list also includes Kyle Chandler, Glenn, Andrew Scott, Jamie Demetriou, Jamie Demetriou and Rylan Jackson.
