Quinton Aaron, who suffered a near-fatal stroke earlier this year, says the health scare opened his eyes in more ways than one.
Aaron, best known for his portrayal of NFL veteran Michael Oher in the 2009 sports drama "The Blind Side," was hospitalized in January after a fall at his home. The medical ordeal left the 41-year-old actor on life support.
In an interview with ABC News released Monday, April 20, Aaron spoke out for the first time, getting candid on his life and recovery journey since the stroke, including a shocking discovery about his marriage to wife Margarita DeLeon.
"The entire time we were together, she told me she had been divorced for 10-plus years," Aaron told ABC News correspondent Steve Osunsami. "She even told the person where we were getting married, 'Oh yes, I have all the documents. I can email over to you the divorce decree.'"
However, during Aaron's hospitalization, the actor said he was informed by his family that DeLeon was still married to another man and could not make medical decisions on his behalf.
