Update: TMZ fueled Jamie Foxx conspiracy theories with new video of a man who appears to be the actor swinging a golf club at a driving range.
The man in the video appears to be shorter and thinner than Jamie. According to TMZ, Jamie was at Topgolf in Naperville, Illinois around 11 p.m. on Saturday.
An eyewitness tells TMZ his swing was better than his friends with whom he was competing. The eyewitness said Jamie won.
However, Jamie’s fans aren’t convinced the guy in the videos is the A-lister himself. They believe Jamie’s people hired a body double.

Jamie Foxx was spotted publicly for the first time since falling ill earlier this year.
TMZ published exclusive video of the A-list actor on a yacht on the Chicago River Sunday afternoon.
The video shows Jamie sitting while waving and displaying the peace sign to other boaters. He’s holding what appears to be a cell phone in his right hand.
Also on the boat were family members including Jamie’s daughters. His children and exes have been by his side throughout his ordeal.

Jamie, 55, reportedly suffered a stroke while in Atlanta filming a movie in April. He was stabilized at an Atlanta area hospital before being transferred to a renowned physical rehab hospital in Chicago.
Jamie allegedly suffered right-sided weakness and was learning to walk again at the rehab facility that specializes in stroke recovery.
Last month, Jamie’s rep disputed a journalist’s claim that the singer/songwriter was left “paralyzed and blind” due to a COVID vaccine booster that he was “pressured” to take.
There is apparently more footage of Jamie out on the town in Chicago on Saturday. But that footage was not published for some reason.
The new video did nothing to stop the rampant speculation about Jamie’s health.
One YouTuber wrote: “Respect to that body double.”
