'Blind Side' actor Quinton Aaron hospitalized after collapse

  • On Sunday, January 25, TMZ reported Quinton Aaron, actor best known for portraying Michael Oher in The Blind Side, collapsed on apartment stairs in Atlanta, Georgia, after his legs suddenly stopped functioning and was taken to a hospital.
  • Aaron, who has battled weight issues, was hospitalized last year with type A influenza and walking pneumonia and recently revealed a 200-pound weight loss.
  • While some outlets disputed those claims, manager Katrina Fristoe said Aaron is `receiving excellent medical care` and with family, despite a GoFundMe alleging `life support` and a `severe blood infection`.
  • The Veterans Aid Network aims to raise $10,000 t to cover Aaron's medical and family expenses, with over $1,000 from 36 donations so far.
  • Aaron is best known for portraying Michael Oher in the Oscar-winning film The Blind Side, and he has maintained a steady acting career but lacks another hit, increasing coverage interest.
