Fans have been expressing their concern for Martin Lawrence on social media after the actor sat down with Will Smith to discuss Bad Boys: Ride or Die with ExtraTV, last week. They noted he seemed a bit quieter and slower during the interview. It came after his close friend, Sean Lampkin, passed away back in March.
“Martin seems a little slow and off! Like he's had some kind of medical issue," one user in the comments section of the video wrote. As caught by The Neighborhood Talk, another added: “Love them both...Martin been through a lot and now hes grieving death of his brother and you can tell Wil got his back...Love both these legends...May GOD bless them both and keep them close.”

One more user wrote: “Martin looks good to almost be 60. He is talking slightly slower but I think that's only because we're so used to him being so energetic back in the days and because we watch the reruns of Martin all the time when it comes on. It just sucks to see our favorite comedians get old. I don't think its the heat stroke from 1999 that really affected him because he was sharp as a tack on his ‘RunTelDat’ special in 2002.”
