Rezaian was released from prison in Iran over the weekend in a prisoner swap with the United States after being locked up since July 2014. He had been in a U.S. Army hospital in Germany since his release.

“I am overjoyed to be reconnecting with my family,” he said in a statement on Friday.

“I am feeling well and plan to relax and enjoy home-cooked meals, sports, and movies with them over the next few days and weeks.”

In a statement on Wednesday, Rezaian said, “For now, I want to catch up with what’s been going on in the world, watch a Warriors game or two, and see the ‘Star Wars’ movie.”
