Jamie Foxx is back on his feet and wasted no time jetting off to Las Vegas for work, RadarOnline.com has learned.

Foxx was said to have shown no signs of physical ailment and appeared to be in great shape.

On Thursday, Cassidy shared a picture with Foxx. He looked sharp in a tailored black suit and tie.
