Martin Lawrence addresses health concerns after appearance at Bad Boys 4 premiere sparked worry among fans

A video of Martin Lawrence promoting Bad Boys 4 has gone viral, with fans worrying about his health

Martin Lawrence has a message to the fans who were worried about his health in a viral clip.

Martin Lawrence is an iconic comedian for millions across the world and is certainly one of the most revered comedic voices from the 90s.

So understandably, a viral clip appearing to show him in poor health got people talking.

As Will Smith and Martin Lawrence continue their movie promotion tour for the upcoming Bad Boys: Ride or Die, a short video of the pair began circulating on social media.

The brief clip showed Smith holding Lawrence’s hand and seemingly assisting him as the pair walked on a stage in Los Angeles as part of the promotion.

“Is everything OK with Martin Lawrence??” one concerned fan wrote.

“Martin Lawrence OK? He's been very...reserved on this promo tour. I hope he's alright. Will is doing most of the leg work and entertaining....hm,” another asked.

“Why is he carting him out like that? Prayers up for this legend. His show brought me so much joy as a kid. People don't understand how impactful their art can be for those who may not have a lot,” added another.

However in a recent interview, Lawrence addressed fans’ concerns and said people need to stop the rumors around his health.

Speaking on Hot 97 host Ebro Darden brought up the clip and the promotion in Mexico City.

Both Smith and Lawrence said they were stunned at the scale of the promotion and the massive support the film was getting in the country, likening it to a rock concert rather than a film promo.

When invited to respond to rumors about his health, Lawrence said: “I’m fine, I am in God’s hands, I am blessed, I am glad to be waking up every day.

“I’m all good, I’m all good, no need for people to be concerned.”

He later added: “I’m healthy as hell. Stop the rumors!”

While Lawrence might have a clean bill of health, Bad Boys 4 directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah said Will Smith managed to injure his leg during filming - and the shot where he did it ended up making it into the final cut.

El Arbi said: "Will got hurt. Will had something with his leg. He just kept on running and didn’t say anything at the time.

“He’s really running on a bridge in Miami, the same as in the first Bad Boys from 20-30 years ago."

Fallah added: “The next day he came in and it was in cast, and we were like ‘oh what happened!’"
