Foxx closed the caption with the hashtags #swipeleft, #imbackandimbetter, and #nobaddays.

The first message of support in the comments came from none other than Jeremy Renner, who bounced back from a near-fatal snowplow accident in January.

\"Bless you my friend!!!\" Renner wrote, adding a pair of red heart emoji.

Foxx's update has so far been liked more than 440,000 times, with supportive comments from fans and stars including Octavia Spencer, Tina Lawson, Tamar Braxton, Garcelle Beauvais and more.
