‘The Blind Side’ star hospitalized for coughing up blood
Quinton Aaron, star of “The Blind Side,” was admitted to the hospital late last month for a fever and coughing up blood.
Aaron, who portrayed Michael Oher in the 2009 film, talked to TMZ.
“I feel optimistic I’ll be back on my feet in no time,” he said.
According to a report, Aaron has an upper respiratory infection, while E! Online contends he is likely experiencing Type A flu and pneumonia. In addition, he is experiencing a days-long migraine.
Since being hospitalized, the 40-year-old said he has undergone testing by the Southern California medical facility’s doctors and shared that he is likely experiencing Type A flu and pneumonia. In addition, he is experiencing a days-long migraine.
Aaron explained to TMZ he had been “sick for the past couple of months” and “couldn’t shake it.”
He has since been released from the hospital.
“I’m out, everything is all good,” Aaron said in a since-deleted Instagram video, per E!. “I’m gonna go take my medicines. I’m about to go home and take a nap because I’m tired, couldn’t sleep, people walking in my room at all hours of the night.”
