Speculation regarding Lawrence’s physical state started to circulate last month when the star and his Bad Boys: Ride or Die co-star, Will Smith, attended the movie’s Los Angeles premiere.

In a viral footage from the event, Smith certainly appeared to step in and assist Lawrence stand as the pair addressed the audience… with the latter actor looking around in what appeared to be a confused manner.

It wasn’t exactly an elaborate or obvious move on Smith’s part.

But this is the Internet. It doesn’t take much for people to ask questions and/or jump to conclusions.

Chatter about his condition even reached Lawrence, who responded to the general concern on Monday as a guest on the Erbo in the Morning radio program.

“I’m fine. I’m in God’s hands. I’m blessed. I’m glad to be waking up every day and everything. No need for people to be concerned,” Lawrence said during this press stop, prior to quipping:

“And I’m healthy as hell! Stop, stop, stop the rumors!”

On this radio show, Lawrence said his bewildered expression in the aforementioned video was due to the impressive size of the crowd.

“I was like, ‘Oh, this is rock concert stuff. What the hell is going on? For a movie?’” he said. “I was like, ‘Oh my goodness, man.’”
