Actor who played Michael Oher in ‘The Blind Side’ on life support

Jan 27, 2026, 8:34 AM | Updated: 1:06 pm

Actor Quinton Aaron, known for his role in “The Blind Side,” is currently on life support after collapsing at his home.

His wife, Margarita, shared that he is partially able to breathe on his own with the help of medical devices. Despite being in the hospital for four days, his condition is reportedly improving each day, and the family remains hopeful for his recovery.

Margarita explained that the health scare began with Quinton feeling sore and losing feeling in his legs, leading to a 911 call when he struggled to move and slipped in and out of consciousness. Doctors are still conducting tests to identify the underlying issue, as Aaron also battles a blood infection.

This incident follows a previous hospitalization in February of last year when he had a high fever and coughed up blood.

We wish him well and continued recovery!
