In 2021, Tom Sizemore candidly opened up to Fox News about his well-documented legal woes and harrowing journey toward sobriety. “I’ve been trying to get sober since 1991,” he said. “… I had periods, long periods, of sobriety and I would end up relapsing.” Sizemore added, “I still go to meetings and work my steps, but I had reached a place in my life where I knew I had to stop. I couldn’t be arrogant anymore. If I wanted to reach a nice and pleasant old age, I had to stop.”
While Sizemore seemed to be doing well around this time, the 61-year-old actor was later rushed to the hospital after being found unconscious at his home in Los Angeles during the wee hours of the morning on February 19, 2023. Per The Hollywood Reporter, Sizemore had suffered a brain aneurysm. As explained by Mayo Clinic, this “is a bulge or ballooning in a blood vessel in the brain.” While an aneurysm that hasn’t burst rarely causes symptoms, those of a burst aneurysm may include a severe headache, neck stiffness, nausea, light sensitivity, confusion, or unconsciousness.

Noting that Sizemore’s loved ones were “aware and waiting for updates,” spokesperson Charles Lago stated, “He is currently in critical condition and it’s a wait-and-see situation.” As of this writing, there have been no additional updates. Among Sizemore’s well-wishers, including fans on Instagram, was rocker Bret Michaels, who tweeted, “As someone who’s been there, I’m sending my thoughts, prayers and wishes for a speedy recovery to @tomsizemore, an absolutely incredible actor.”
