The Blind Side actor Quinton Aaron is reportedly in the hospital after falling inside his home.
According to a report published by TMZ on Sunday, January 25, Aaron, 41, was taken to an Atlanta, Georgia, hospital three days ago after he “was walking up the stairs in his apartment … when his legs suddenly stopped functioning, causing him to collapse.”
Us Weekly has reached out to a representative for Aaron for comment.
An additional report by the Daily Mail, also published on Sunday, alleged that the actor, who played college footballer Michael Oher in the 2009 film alongside Sandra Bullock, was battling a “severe blood infection,” and placed on life support as detailed in a GoFundMe page launched for the actor.
TMZ’s reporting, however, disputed the claim with Aaron’s manager telling the outlet that “he’s stable, communicating with his family and team, and receiving precisely the care needed at this time.”
TMZ also noted that the manager said doctors “are still running tests and evaluating Quinton’s condition, and at this time, there’s no definitive word on what caused the fall.”
The reports come three months after Aaron, who also starred in The Wedding Pact 2 alongside Haylie Duff and Left Behind opposite Nicolas Cage, took to social media to reveal that he’d lost 200 pounds. “Hey guys it has definitely been a tough few years since Covid. Made new friends and lost old ones. However, last year when I married my #puertoriqueña @margaritaleta75 I feel like God started smiling on me and I praise him for his grace and mercy and favor in my life,” Aaron captioned an October 14 Instagram carousel that showed his physical transformation.
The post continued, “At my heaviest, I was 575 pounds. As of today, I am 370 pounds.”
The snaps showed him posing in pants that no longer fit him, as well as full-length frames that flaunted a slim figure. Aaron was also seen flashing a smile after getting a haircut.
During an interview with TMZ at the time, Aaron detailed that he’s shed the weight by incorporating diet changes and cardio sessions.
He also shared his motivation for the body transformation with the outlet, citing his wife, Margarita Aaron, whom he married in December 2024. “Mentally, physically and emotionally, she has been my confidant and shelter through my storms,” Quinton told the outlet. “I truly believe God was blessing me with one of his angels when he sent her to me. She’s helped me get over my depression and so much more. She loves to tell people that she only does 5 percent and I do the other 95 percent but I believe she’s much more important in my life than even she gives herself credit for.”
Aaron Carter had dealt with his fair share of ups and downs through the years. “I learned there’s a very valuable lesson in growing up as a young star and then being about to come out on the other side,” the “I Want Candy” singer exclusively told Us Weekly in April 2017 of when he started performing […]
Earlier in 2025, Aaron was admitted into the hospital after suffering type A influenza and walking pneumonia. A friend of Aaron’s, Liana Mendoze, told Us Weekly exclusively in March that year that an “ancient witch doctor style of healing” led to her friend’s recovery.
She said that after antibiotics failed, a spiritual healer visited him to perform a spiritual cleansing known as limpia that is said to rid the body of negative energy. From there, she said, Aaron began “turning the corner.”
Per the Institute of Shamanism and Curanderismo, a limpia is a Mexican ritual that “cleanses the body, emotions, mind and soul from negative energies and thoughts.”
