Martin Lawrence's longevity and popularity in the entertainment industry is sneakily surprising as he's established himself as a comedian, television and movie star, and writer. Some of you might remember him from the House Party series but a lot of you youngsters might recognize his face from the resurging Martin series that is supposedly going to be rebooted in the near future as well as movies like the Bad Boys series, Blue Streak, and Life.
Back in 1999, Martin Lawrence made news headlines when he suffered a heat stroke while preparing for a movie role. Lawrence was dressed in heavy clothing and a plastic sweat suit while jogging in 100-degree weather causing him to collapse and go into a three-day coma where his breathing was assisted by a ventilator while his body temperature was at a staggering 107 degrees Fahrenheit.
