The Blind Side costar, Quinton Aaron fighting for his life’ in hospital after falling at home

merican actor, Quinton Aaron, who starred alongside Sandra Bullock in the inspirational sports biopic The Blind Side, is ‘fighting for his life’ after suffering a serious fall at his home.

Aaron, who revealed his stunning 200-pound weight loss last year, has reportedly been hospitalized for his injury and is now battling a ‘severe blood infection,’ according to a GoFundMe set up to raise donations to cover his medical bills and his family’s expenses.

In a statement, Aaron’s manager, Katrina Fristoe, said he is ‘receiving excellent medical care’ and is with family.

‘The family deeply appreciates the outpouring of support from fans and the media but respectfully requests privacy during this time,’ she said, adding that an update would be forthcoming when Aaron was in better condition.

The 41-year-old actor is best known for playing former NFL star Michael Oher in The Blind Side, whose high school and college football career was chronicled in Michael Lewis’s popular book of the same name.

Aaron’s latest health crisis comes after he was rushed to a hospital in March 2025 as he coughed up blood and battled a fever.

The GoFundMe account, which was created on Saturday, has raised just over $450 of its $10,000 goal from 14 donations as of Sunday evening.

On Sunday, a manager to Aaron told TMZ that the actor had been hospitalized in Atlanta, Georgia, for three days.

According to his manager, Aaron was rushed to the hospital after he had been taking the stairs up to his apartment and suddenly lost the ability to control his legs, causing him to fall down the stairs.

While Aaron was described in his GoFundMe as being on ‘life support,’ his manager claimed to TMZ that he was ‘stable’ and had been able to communicate with his family and professional team.

According to the manager, Aaron’s doctors are still running tests, and they have not yet determined what led to his devastating fall.

Aaron’s manager added that his family is appreciative of the support he has received from fans.

Aaron latest medical emergency comes after he gave his fans a scare in March 2025, when he was rushed to a hospital after coughing up blood.

The actor was also suffering from a fever at the time, and though his eventual diagnosis wasn’t revealed, TMZ reported at the time that doctors posited Type A flu and pneumonia as possible culprits.
