Sinbad, 68, Is Unrecognizable in New Photo 5 Years After Suffering a Stroke
Sinbad has officially returned to acting nearly five years after suffering a stroke. The 68-year-old is set to star in Tyler Perry's new film Straw.
"It's so important to me, as a man, that men want to support and take care of their families," Perry told Entertainment Tonight. "I know it's been really difficult for him, so to give him this opportunity made me feel amazing. I'm really excited for him. And he delivered."
In a photo shared by the outlet, Sinbad appeared unrecognizable with a full gray beard.
Sinbad suffered a stroke in October 2020. Two years later, his family shared an update on the comedian's official Instagram account.
"Sinbad appreciates all the love and support you have shown him over the last two years. Many of you have asked for updates and if there is anything Sinbad needs or what you can do to help. As a result, the family has created a site where you can keep up to date with his progress and also provide an avenue for those who wish to give," read a caption on a photo of Sinbad holding a walker.
In November 2024, Sinbad shared a video from a birthday get together. In the video, the actor was sitting in a wheelchair.
"A great night with the family. Takes the edge off of getting older. It was exciting to see my grandson have fun at his first basketball game. Also thank you to everyone who's wished me a happy birthday," he captioned the video.
According to his IMDb page, Sinbad had a voice role in Good Burger 2, which was released in 2023. The year before, he starred in one episode of Atlanta.

Intense backlash to Matt Rife ad left makeup company ‘very surprised,' brand executive says
One executive for makeup brand e.l.f. is trying to turn down the social media temperature after her company's latest ad sparked outrage among users for starring stand-up comic Matt Rife. In an interview with the outlet 'Business of Fashion' (BOF), the beauty brand's chief marketing officer, Kory Marchisotto, spoke about what went wrong with its ad with Rife, explaining that causing outrage was never their intention. 'Obviously, we're very surprised,' she said. 'There is a big gap between our intention and how this missed the mark for some people… We always aim to deliver positivity, and this one didn't.' 'So we find ourselves in a position where, quite honestly, that doesn't feel good for us,' Marchisotto added. The cosmetics brand published the ad on major social media platforms last week. The commercial featured Rife and drag queen Heidi N Closet as ' & Schmarnes,' a spoof lawyer duo in a legal commercial fighting for consumers' rights to inexpensive cosmetic products. 4 Marchisotto said that e.l.f cosmetics was 'very surprised' from the backlash they have received. @elfcosmetics/Instagram However, the clip took major heat from online users, including several major beauty and fashion influencers, who were offended that e.l.f. would employ Rife after he joked about domestic abuse during his 2023 stand-up special, 'Natural Selection.' In the special, the comic told the story of when he and his friend noticed a waitress with a black eye while they were eating at a restaurant in Baltimore. He explained that the two of them questioned why the restaurant owners wouldn't have the employee work in the kitchen to avoid customers asking questions. 'Yeah, but I feel like if she could cook, she wouldn't have a black eye,' Rife joked. 4 The backlash of Rife in the ad is from his previous jokes about domestic abuse. @elfcosmetics/Instagram When people reacted poorly to the joke at the time, Rife doubled down, putting out a statement that directed social media users to a link offering an 'apology' if they had ever been offended by a joke he told. The link brought users to a website where they could purchase special-needs helmets. In response to e.l.f.'s new ad last week, 'Nikkietutorials,' a cosmetics influencer with almost 9 million followers on TikTok, commented, 'aaaaaaandddd you lost me… Matt Rife out of ALL people? so disappointed.' Others trashed the video in its comment sections, too. Maddy Lucy Dann, a TikTok user with 1.4 million followers, wrote, 'In Matt Rife's Netflix stand-up special Natural Selection he opened with a domestic violence joke, implying a woman wouldn't have a black eye if she could cook.' 4 Rife made the controversial jokes during his 2023 stand-up special, 'Natural Selection.' @elfcosmetics/Instagram The beauty brand responded to the backlash, putting out a statement last Wednesday acknowledging that working with Rife was a mistake. 'You know us, we're always listening and we've heard you. This campaign aimed to humorously spotlight beauty injustice. We understand we missed the mark with people we care about in our e.l.f community,' e.l.f. stated. 4 Marchisotto said they went with Rife because 80% of his TikTok audience is female. @elfcosmetics/Instagram During her interview with BOF, Marchisotto explained why e.l.f. went with Rife for the ad campaign. She noted how 80% of Rife's TikTok audience is female, with 75% under the age of 34 – 'right in the sweet spot' of the makeup brand's target audience.

Check out more newsletters The executive added that at the time e.l.f. built its campaign around Rife, he was getting 80% positive engagement from his audience, so the brand thought it was a safe bet. 'We [are] very much known for operating in real time, that's what it means to be in the cultural zeitgeist. So we're not looking in the rearview mirror when we're operating the real-time marketing machine,' she said. Rife has yet to reply to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
