'Blind Side' Star In ICU
Quinton Aaron, known for The Blind Side, suffered a rare spinal stroke but is now alert and recovering, with a GoFundMe launched to help cover his medical expenses.
- On January 29, 2026, Quinton Aaron's family said the actor suffered a spinal stroke and is alert, aware and recovering in an Atlanta hospital after his legs suddenly stopped functioning on January 25.

- His family has launched a fundraiser and said only Aaron's blood relatives or spokesperson Liana Mendoza will provide official updates, warning of legal action for unauthorized disclosures.
- Aaron's film profile from The Blind Side has amplified public attention, while his family said recovery may be lengthy, requiring a wheelchair and therapy, urging emotional and financial support.
