Acclaimed screenwriter Aaron Sorkin opens up about suffering an almost fatal stroke in 2022 and fearing he would never be able to write again.
Aaron Sorkin opens up about suffering a near-fatal stroke in 2022. The acclaimed screenwriter, known for his signature snappy dialogue, got his start writing Broadway plays and rose to fame as the mastermind behind The West Wing and the screenwriter behind The Social Network, for which he won an Academy Award. However, his life and prolific career were almost recently cut short due to a serious health scare.
As his Camelot revival prepares to open on Broadway, Sorkin opened up to The New York Times about suffering a stroke last November. The medical scare occurred two months before Camelot rehearsals began, resulting in his blood pressure being so high that it was almost fatal. Though Sorkin experienced all the usual after-effects of a stroke and was concerned he would never be able to write again, those issues are now behind him.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY "Mostly it was a loud wake-up call. I thought I was one of those people who could eat whatever he wanted, smoke as much as he wanted, and it’s not going to affect me. Boy, was I wrong. If it’ll get one person to stop smoking, then it’ll be helpful. There was a minute when I was concerned that I was never going to be able to write again and I was concerned in the short-term that I wasn’t going to be able to continue writing Camelot.
Sorkin's last Broadway play was his 2018 take on To Kill a Mockingbird, which was nominated for nine Tony Awards. He is now returning to Broadway with a Camelot musical adaptation led by Hamilton's Phillipa Soo and opening on April 13. The acclaimed writer isn't the only Hollywood icon who recently disclosed a harrowing health scare, as Jurassic Park's Sam Neill revealed he was diagnosed with angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma, which is now in remission.
