Martin Lawrence has done more than just assure millions that he’s healthy; he’s also managed to take a friendly jab at his co-star's cinematic endeavors. Despite concerns sparked by his appearance at the Bad Boys: Ride or Die premiere, the actor is out to prove he’s fit as a fiddle and, apparently, in better shape than some of Hollywood’s latest high-octane blockbusters.

The fuss began when a clip surfaced showing Martin Lawrence and Will Smith greeting fans at the premiere in Hollywood. Observers thought they saw Smith guiding an unsteady Lawrence, prompting a wave of speculation about the actor's health. Online concern grew faster than the number of streaming services you’re likely to cancel in a month.

Squelching the internet's innate talent for rumor-mongering isn’t easy, but Martin Lawrence took to Hot 97’s 'Ebro in the Morning' to address the subject. “I’m healthy as hell. Stop the rumors!” he exclaimed, effectively quashing the hysteria with a smile and a sprinkle of common sense. He explained that he was merely surprised by the rock concert-like crowd at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood.

“You bet I was surprised! It was like showing up to a Beyoncé concert in a tuxedo,” Lawrence quipped while recounting the event. The crowd size threw him off, but that was the only thing unsteady about the comedy icon that evening.

For those who know Lawrence, this isn't his first rodeo with health concerns. Back in 1999, he had a severe bout of heat exhaustion that led to a three-day coma. Understandably, fans were worried that history might be repeating itself, but Lawrence assured them that nothing of the sort was happening this time around.

Bad Boys: Ride or Die, the fourth entry in the franchise starring Lawrence and his long-time buddy Will Smith, has garnered mixed reviews. Variety’s Owen Gleiberman offered a positive take, while the New York Post’s Johnny Oleksinski gave it a middling 2 out of 4 stars. Either way, Lawrence is just happy to be back on the big screen, bringing his unique blend of humor and action to fans.

On a recent appearance on ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,’ Lawrence took a moment to praise Will Smith's professionalism and talent, implying that even if some of Smith’s recent films have wobbled, the man himself remains rock-solid.

Lawrence's comments come at a time when the actor himself has been the target of unsteady speculation. The actor’s health journey from his 1999 scare to the recent premiere shows that not only is he still standing, but he's managing to do so with his usual flair and humor.

Ultimately, Martin Lawrence is laughing off the concerns, stacking his healthy self against some of Will Smith's recent cinematic adventures. As for the fans, they can breathe easy; it appears that the only thing unsteady here was the internet’s penchant for jumping to conclusions. The man is fine. In his own words, "I’m healthier than Will Smith's last three action movies." And if you ask anyone, that seems to be a pretty high bar.
