Martin Lawrence sparked Concern over his health earlier this year.
This is not the first time “The Blue Streak” actor has triggered speculations about his well-being. The renowned actor’s recent appearance during the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards ceremony had fans worried after he seemed to slur his words during a comedy bit.
Fans noted that the actor took long pauses while reading his lines and slurred his words at the award ceremony.
Although the actor has not disclosed any health issues in recent decades, fans highlighted that Martin Lawrence experienced several health complications in the ’90s after prolonged exposure to heat or dehydration.
