Jamie Foxx is saving the day.

The Ray star, who was hospitalized in April due to a medical emergency, was recently captured on film coming to a fan's rescue after she lost her purse during a day out in Chicago.

In a video shared on Instagram on July 10, Jamie was seen stepping into his vehicle to a chorus of thank yous after what appeared to be an exchange with a group on a pedicab. According to Terri "Queeni" Glen, the footage was taken after the 55-year-old had returned a purse she had unknowingly dropped on the ground.

"I think a horn was blowing, and my sister's saying ‘Look over here,'" Terri recalled of the encounter to Fox News July 11. "I immediately knew it was my bag. And I'm like, ‘My bag?' I said ‘Jamie?' I knew it was him immediately, just like I thought it was my bag immediately."

Upon retrieving the bag, Terri said she asked the actor, "Are you all right? Do you feel good?"

"He just quoted me, and he said, ‘I feel good,'" she said. "He just kind of had like a little smile, like he do… It made me really feel like he was appreciative of me asking about his well-being instead of saying, ‘Hey, can we get a picture?'"

Terri added that Jamie—who made another public appearance in Chicago earlier this week—looked "strong and well."

The latest outing comes amid Jamie's recovery from an unidentified medical complication, which his daughter Corinne Foxx said he had bounced back from.

"Update from the family," the 29-year-old wrote in a May 12 Instagram Story post. "My Dad has been out of the hospital for weeks, recuperating. In fact, he was playing pickleball yesterday! Thanks for everyone's prayers and support!"

The same month, Jamie thanked everyone for their well-wishes.

"Appreciate all the love!!!" Jamie wrote on Instagram. "Feeling blessed."
