'The Blind Side' Quinton Aaron Suffers Another Medical Emergency At Home

Quinton Aaron remains unlucky in the health department with another trip to the hospital. 

The actor, best known for playing Michael Oher in the 2009 film "The Blind Side," has been hospitalized following an incident at his home.

The news comes months after Quinton Aaron flaunted his incredible weight loss transformation, sparking Ozempic allegations.

According to new reports, Aaron was hospitalized in Atlanta last week after suffering from a mystery ailment. He had been walking up the stairs in his apartment when his leg suddenly gave out, and he came tumbling down.

The reason why Aaron's legs stopped functioning remains a mystery, with his manager telling TMZ that doctors were still running tests and evaluating the actor's condition. On the other hand, a GoFundMe set up in Aaron's name shared a different narrative.

The page's organizers claimed Aaron was "on life support due to a severe blood infection." Their words contradicted his manager's statements, as the rep assured the outlet that Aaron was not in danger but stable and communicating with his family and team.

Aaron's manager added that he and his family wanted privacy as they navigated his sudden health scare. Nonetheless, the rep noted that they were grateful to fans for the outpouring of love, prayers, and well-wishes.

The entertainer's latest trip to the hospital comes nearly a year after he was rushed to a Southern California medical facility in February 2025. At the time, Aaron was hospitalized after coming down with a fever and coughing up blood.

He underwent a bunch of tests to determine the cause and was diagnosed with Type A flu and pneumonia. Aaron regained his strength after a round of antibiotics and stopped coughing up blood.

Unfortunately, his recovery timeline prevented him from attending planned appearances at Laguna Hills and Orange County.

Aaron's health woes continued in 2019 when he shocked fans on social media after posting a video of himself at the hospital. It was reported that he assured fans he would be fine, but failed to share what had happened.

The outlet contacted him for the details, and Aaron confessed that he nearly got himself in a pickle. He explained that he had been suffering from a bad congestion in early May 2019, but dismissed it as a common cold.

Fast forward to June, Aaron's congestion didn't get any better, and he finally decided to get checked out. Turns out he was dealing with more than a mere cold as doctors discovered he had a severe upper respiratory infection.

Months after recovering from Type A flu and pneumonia in February 2025, The Blast reported that Aaron had shocked fans with his weight loss transformation in October. He took to Instagram to share before-and-after images, revealing he had lost over 200 pounds.

Despite the fantastic achievement, Aaron explained that he was not close to his weight goal. He wanted to lose an extra 55 pounds to reach 320 pounds, which was the weight he was when he played football in high school at 14.

The pictures of Aaron's transformation received high praise from fans, with many pleasantly surprised by his dedication. There were several comments like "so proud of you" and details about his weight loss plan, but a few called the actor out for allegedly taking a shortcut.

Some fans believed Aaron had joined other celebrities in using weight loss drugs like Ozempic to achieve his transformation. However, he shut down these comments with a firm rebuttal, stressing that he never used the drug.

According to Aaron, he couldn't have used Ozempic to lose weight because he had an allergic reaction to the drug after testing it out in 2024. On that note, Aaron claimed he achieved his transformation the old-fashioned way, through hard work.

Aaron shared his routine with fans, revealing that what worked for him was "intermittent fasting, cutting sugar and carbs, and having a lot of cardio in the bedroom" with his new wife, Margarita. He credited her as his mental, physical, and emotional anchor.
