Clips shared back in 2023 showed him quietly putting in the work ahead of Bad Boys 4, posting moments from intense cardio sessions and strength training with a trainer rather than addressing the chatter directly. Those efforts are now reflected in the images he shared on Jan. 18, where the 60-year-old appeared onstage in sleek leather looks — black in one show, brown in another — projecting a sharper, more streamlined presence. Lawrence kept the caption simple, writing, “DC and VA brought the love!” but the comment section quickly filled in the rest, with fans reacting to more than just the energy of the crowd. “That was a hell of a show. That was a hell of a way to bring in the New Year,” replied one fan who enjoyed the comedy show. Another fan was happy to see the “Martin” star looking slender wrote, “Marty Mar skinny again!” Several other fans agreed that the comedian looked well, including one who replied, “lookin’ good, Marty Mar!” Another person joked, “Marty. Mar is back.” View on Threads However, a few of his fans felt Lawrence looked too thin for their liking, as they shared their concerns about his health. One fan exclaimed, “Sum ain’t right!” “Combination of Stroke + Old Age…it is what it is. I commend him for not giving up,” added another. “Nah,” a third person replied. “That was before, we all saw that, when Will had to be helping him move around. But now he’s lost weight but still has that stroke look.” His longtime co-star Will Smith was a big help during promotional events. During a May interview, Lawrence’s speech sounded slow and slurred, and at a May 30 event, Smith took his co-star by the hand and guided him to the front of a double decker tour bus as the duo waved to the crowd. The public questioned whether something was wrong with Lawrence, while others defended the star and praised Smith’s support. “Finally looking back to normal,” said one fan about Lawrence. @nlistreport There Is Something Going  On  with Martin  #badboyrideordie #badboys #martinlawrence #willsmith ♬ original sound – NLR NEWS Fans initally became concerned about the “Big Momma” star last February after fellow comedian Rickey Smiley shared a video of the duo backstage on Instagram.
