First of all, Martin seemed to have difficulty speaking. The comedic actor was slurring his words, and appeared to have difficulty forming a coherent schedule.

His co-star Will Smith realized Martin’s dilemma, and did his best to cover uo for his friend, during the interview.

And it wasn’t just Martin’s speech. Martin also appeared to have his fist clenched, as if he didn’t have full control of his bodily functions.

Fans are worried that Martin may have had stroke either immediately before, or during the interview.

Here are a few screenshots.



And here is the full interview:

Martin is an American actor and comedian. He came to fame during the 1990s, establishing a Hollywood career as a leading actor. He got his start playing Maurice Warfield in What’s Happening Now!!

He was a leading actor in the Fox television sitcom Martin, the Bad Boys franchise, and House Party, Boomerang, A Thin Line Between Love and Hate, Nothing to Lose, Life, Blue Streak, Big Momma’s House, Black Knight, Open Season, and Wild Hogs.
