It's April 20th. Entertainment and celebrity news. Today starts now. AI powered and trending. Quentin Aaron, the 41-year-old actor from the blind side, just gave a raw update on his spinal stroke recovery. He collapsed on his apartment stairs back in late January, landing in a four-day coma. Now in intense physical therapy at an Atlanta hospital, he's battling diabetes that doctors say played a role. They predict it could take months, or even a full year to walk again. But Aaron is pushing back on that timeline with straight faith and grit. He told ABC News he rejects the long wait, believing he'll be up and moving much sooner through his bond with God. Meanwhile, he's juggling rehab sessions daily to rebuild his strength step-by-step. The stroke hit right after his December 2024 wedding to Margarita De Leon, and family dropped the initial update saying he was alert, and on the mend. Then things got messy when they learned. During his coma, she was still legally married to her estranged husband from 1992.

An attorney dug up records showing no finalized divorce, so doctors pulled her for making medical calls for him. De Leon insists she thought it was done years ago, and her ex-era Guzman agrees they just filed for divorce in February to sort it. Aaron's keeping his eyes on healing now, stressing he should have listened to his body's warning sign sooner. With faith fueling him, he's owning this comeback on his terms.
