Tim Curry "still can't walk" over a decade after suffering a stroke

According to The Hollywood Reporter, he told fans at a special screening of the Rocky Horror Picture Show: "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."

Tim hasn't spoken a great deal about his health struggles over the past decade, but during the event he recalled when he had the stroke.

He said: "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.' "

As well as Rocky Horror, Tim had a number of iconic roles before his health struggles, including Clue, Annie, and the 1990 It miniseries.

Earlier on during the special event, he referenced the way the movie has been embraced by the LGBTQ+ community.

He said: "[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."

He recently spoke with CBS Sunday Morning for an interview, during which he admitted he thought the 1975 cult classic had ruined his career after it appeared to flop upon its release.

He said: "I was crushed...I thought that it might well be [the end of my movie career]. But I was tougher than that."
