He was forced to miss an event.
The Blind Side star Quinton Aaron has revealed he was hospitalised after coughing up blood.
The 40-year-old actor, who played Michael Oher in the 2009 film starring Sandra Bullock, was rushed to a Southern California medical facility last Thursday.
He was rushed to hospital after suffering from a fever and ‘a blood-soaked cough’.
According to TMZ, Quinton was given several tests, with early indications showing he’s dealing with Type A flu and pneumonia.
However, the ordeal has also left him with a migraine for several days.
