Martin Lawrence Breaks His Silence Amid Rumors About His Declining Health: 'I'm In God's Hands'
Martin Lawrence has spoken up about the rumors surrounding his health after weeks of speculation.
During a recent interview alongside 'Bad Boys: Ride of Die' co-star Will Smith, the actor urged fans to stop spreading gossip about his well-being. He emphasized that he is in good health and that he feels "healthy as hell."
Both Lawrence and Smith have been extensively traveling on a global promotional tour to promote their latest film in the 'Bad Boys' franchise — the fourth installment in the highly acclaimed series.
The current promotional tour for their buddy cop action film stands out due to the significant age difference between Lawrence, 59, and Smith, compared to when the first movie in the franchise was released nearly 30 years ago by Columbia Pictures. While Smith has visibly bulked up and appears to be in excellent physical condition, apprehensions have been raised regarding the health of the "Martin" TV star.
During an appearance on "Ebro In the Morning," Lawrence made a deliberate effort to reassure everyone and alleviate concerns about his well-being.
"Is there anything that you want to say to the people because they're concerned about your health?" host Ebro Darden inquired. Lawrence answered: "I'm fine. I'm in God's hands. I'm blessed, you know."
"I'm glad to be waking up every day and everything," Lawrence proceeded. "I'm all good. No need for people to be concerned." He later added, "I'm healthy as hell. Stop the rumors!"
Fans expressed their opinions on Lawrence's statement regarding his health on NoirOnline's Instagram page after a clip of the interview was published. Many commented on the "Big Momma's House" star's assurance that he is in good health.
"Nah... he's not ok. I see what I see," one commenter wrote. "He's had a stroke, his speech is slurred, he's almost lethargic," another Instagram user speculated.
'Bad Boys: Ride of Die' hits theaters on June 5.
