LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Jamie Foxx, 55, seems to be having the time of his life on social media, seven months after experiencing an unexplained medical emergency.

However, insiders claim the actor is going through a difficult time behind closed doors. The actor recently posted on Instagram to promote his highly-anticipated new film, 'The Burial'.

Unfortunately, it's a sign that Foxx has not fully recovered from his health scare last spring.

 An insider told the 'National Enquirer', "Jamie pulling out of another project has friends worried that he hasn't recuperated as well as everyone thinks."

"He's struggling, but Jamie has been very private about what happened and his recovery."

The actor has undoubtedly concealed the truth about his medical emergency. Production on the Netflix movie 'Back in Action' was put on hold on April 12 after Corinne revealed that her father had experienced a "medical complication" the day before but was "in good hands".

According to reports, the actor's close friends and family were not informed about what had happened to him.

In July, Foxx admitted to his followers on social media, "I did go through hell and back. My road to recovery had some potholes as well, but I'm coming back," the actor promised his fans.

According to insiders, Foxx is keen to return to work, but he still needs more time. "In the end, Jamie wasn't ready to add hosting a new game show to his schedule," the source told the outlet.

"He's being very careful regarding his health issues. He may not be at 100 percent, but the last thing he wants is to mess with the progress he has made," said the source.

Corinne "is disappointed," but "she understands her dad had to put his health first," the insider added. The source continued, "Jamie hasn't had any major setbacks recently, still he doesn't want to overdo it," as reported by RadarOnline.

The source further said, "He feels better than he has in months — and he owes that to ongoing physical therapy. Jamie doesn't want to risk anything if he doesn't have to."

The source concluded, "He's got a birthday coming up on December 13 and says he wants to celebrate many more."
