Tim Curry gives health update after having stroke in 2012

Tim Curry attended a special screening of the iconic film, The Rocky Horror Picture Show where he opened up about his health.

At the Academy Museum in LA, the actor said about the stroke that he had in 2012, “I still can’t walk, which is why I’m in this silly chair, and that’s very limiting. So I won’t be singing and I won’t be dancing very soon. I still have real problems with my left leg.”

Receiving a standing ovation upon entrance, he continued, “I was having a massage at the time and I didn’t even actually notice anything, but the guy who was doing the massage said, ‘I’m worried about you, I want to call an ambulance.’ And he did, and I said, ‘That’s so silly.'”

Having played the role of Dr. Frank-N-Furter, he expressed his happiness about the event, “I’m so excited by this and very honored by the Academy to do this presentation of our movie, which has dragged on for 50 years.”

Curry admitted that he cherishes the impact and importance of the film and its message, saying that it “means a lot because I think the message of the film — don’t dream it, be it — is very important. One of the things that the movie does, I think, is give anyone permission to behave as badly as they really want, in whatever way and with whom. And I’m proud of that.”
