Tim Curry Makes Rare Public Outing in Wheelchair After 2012 Stroke

Tim Curry, the iconic British actor known for his roles in The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Clue, and It, was recently seen in a rare public outing in Los Angeles, 13 years after suffering a severe stroke that left him partially paralysed and affected his speech. Despite the health challenges that forced him to step away from acting and public life, Curry has undergone extensive rehabilitation and made a notable return to acting in 2024 with a role in the horror film Stream, marking his first feature film role in 14 years. He remains engaged with fans through virtual appearances and is working on an autobiography titled Vagabond. Curry was spotted being pushed in a wheelchair by his carer, dressed in a red sweater, black trousers, and bright red trainers, showing resilience and continued passion for his career. In 2015, he received a lifetime achievement award at the Actors Fund Tony Awards, where he spoke openly about the importance of humor in his recovery. His enduring legacy includes charismatic performances across film, television, and theatre, and he continues to contribute to voice acting projects despite his health limitations.
