Martin Lawrence is 60 now, which feels fake when you see the clips making the rounds online. Fans have been doing double takes after spotting the Bad Boys star looking leaner, lighter on his feet, and moving with the kind of energy most people reserve for their 30s. The videos popped up while he’s out promoting his Y’all STILL Know What It Is! tour, and people noticed immediately.
One clip posted on X shows Lawrence backstage, shadowboxing in a brown leather button-up and matching pants. No stunt lighting. No camera tricks. Just Martin, smiling, bouncing, clearly comfortable in his body again. Compared to how he looked a few years back, the difference is obvious. He followed that up with Instagram photos from the stage, and the comments filled up fast.
“Love seeing this. Prioritizing health always pays dividends, and it shows when someone commits for the long run,” wrote one fan.
Another added, “He looks great. Health glow is real.”
Plenty of people went straight for the age card, saying he looks younger. Others kept it personal. “This means something to me man. IDC how he did it, I’m just happy to see him looking better,” one fan commented. Another followed with, “100%. Legendary dude. Glad to see him apparently healthy.” A lot of fans said the same thing in different ways. You can just tell he feels good.
Lawrence hasn’t explained the weight loss or shared a routine. No interviews breaking it down. No workout clips. And honestly, that’s part of why people respect it. The focus stays on how he looks and moves, not how he sells it.
Naturally, fans are already connecting dots. Some are hoping this means another Bad Boys chapter with Will Smith. Others want a return to Martin, the 1992 sitcom that ran five seasons and helped launch Tisha Campbell, Tichina Arnold, Garrett Morris, and Tracy Morgan into pop culture history.
That show still comes up for other reasons too. Last year, singer Ari Lennox sparked debate about jokes aimed at Pam, played by Arnold. Lawrence addressed it on Fox 5 DC, telling reporter Marissa Mitchell, “No, I never had that concern because I knew they were jokes. That’s the way Black people joke. We go hard. And me and Tichina were just having a lot of fun and we were keeping it real. And I was keeping it real.”
He added there was “no malice intent.” Arnold backed that up on Deon Cole’s Funny Knowing You podcast in December, explaining the jokes came down to who landed the best punchlines, not colorism.
For now, fans seem less interested in debates and more focused on seeing Martin Lawrence healthy, active, and clearly enjoying this chapter. And yeah, they’re watching closely to see what he does next.
