In his  Instagram post, the They Cloned Tyrone actor clicked his tongue and said to the camera: "I know they talk about people crying on videos, you can do take two.

"But I'm not going to do take two. It is what it is."

He went on: "If you see me out from now, every once in a while, just bursting into tears, it's because it's been tough. I was sick, man.

"Now I got my legs under me. So, you going to see me out."

The star concluded: "I just want you to remember me for the jokes that I cracked, the movies that I made - some of them good - I got a good one out. And the songs that I sing."

Jamie captioned the post: "Thank you a billion to everybody. Been a long road but all the prayers great people and God got me through."

Another agreed and shared: "Hopefully not. Jamie said he’s able to work and said everything in the present tense and not past. Hopefully, he still has a long career in front of him."

A third assumed: "I think he’s just saying IF it does happen. Some people talk like that, especially after they’ve had a big health scare similar to what he had."

"For him to say he will burst out in tears when he’s out in public…like that means something serious is going on," one user speculated.

A commentator chimed in: "Why wouldn't he retire? This is far from healthy. He looks awful."

'HE'S RESTING'

On April 12, the Django Unchained star suffered a health setback on the Atlanta set of his Netflix movie, Back In Action.

The details behind Jamie's sudden hospitalization have yet to be disclosed by his family.

In May, a friend close to Jamie told The U.S. Sun that the the movie star is staying "strong" after the "very scary" medical complication. 

The friend claimed: "He's resting, getting better."
