This might not be news to someone, but when I found out I was quite shocked by the news.
This post is how I found out. That’s heartbreaking. The frailty of the human form is a cosmic crime.
One of Curry’s best roles. Everybody watch Over the Garden Wall!
Get down on your knees and tell me you love me.
“You was here… and you was smooching with my brother!”
Yeah, Its a damn shame. I always liked his performances. He has done only a few parts since then. I remember him being a judge in a sitcom but I can’t remember the shows name.
Psych, season 2 episode 1, “American Duos”.
He’s INSANELY funny in it. As one would expect from him.
Holy crap that’s an epic response. Definitely read that in Curry’s voice.
I don’t think that’s the real Tim Curry.
It certainly sucks, but he was in his late 60’s when it happened. He’s almost 80 now.
He’s had a great and full life, and he has great care; most people don’t get either of those things. Aging sucks.
Yeah. I don’t recommend it.
Better than the alternative
Aging backwards?
A lot of older people disagree. There’s a difference between being alive and living.
It’s a huge shame, as he requires two carers now, but he does sound as though he’s still sharp witted as ever, and is that thankful he has kept his voice after the stroke.
‘Risky is the best way to be’: Tim Curry on sexuality, surviving a stroke – and 50 years of stardom https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/ng-interactive/2025/oct/14/risky-is-the-best-way-to-be-tim-curry-sexuality-surviving-stroke-50-years-stardom
Oh, please tell me he’s still getting voiceover gigs. He needs to leave his mark on as many things as possible before the end.
Link is a fantastic read, thank you.
Sad nobody mentioned IT. He played penny wise!
In the original.
I only learned this recently too watching the Rocky Horror cast reunion.
Sad to see Tim in a wheelchair, but he is still sharp.
And this is why you never get a massage or (even worse) chiro on your neck.
20 years as a massage therapist - there are areas of the neck to be cautious of and there is never any excuse to do anything with force or speed to anything associated with the neck or spine. “No pain no gain” approaches in manual therapy (and expectations from clients) needs to die. That approach is abusive to both parties.
There are many ways to provide touch that are both safe and therapeutic. I currently work with hospice patients (you don’t get much more fragile and complicated than that) but when I was teaching the bottom line I gave my students - if the skin is intact and you’re allowed to touch the area with the type of contact to bathe, then there are ways to provide touch for comfort with a positive outcome. Massage can take many forms and it should never hurt or create a threat.
Huh? How so?
Getting the massage saved his life. If he was alone when he had the stroke, he would have died.
Maybe they meant the massage dislodged a clot and caused stroke or maybe they misread.
Oh. I did not know. And I absolutely love Congo. The movie and the game.
It’s hard to fully enjoy someone’s work or art knowing what tragedy has befallen them since that time. It’s just sad. Among others, I always enjoy Clue.
Clue, Home Alone 2, and Muppet Treasure Island are timeless favorites of mine largely because of Curry.
I love Muppeys Treasure Island. Also “The Colour of Magic” movie."
Obviously I could be wrong since I have no hard evidence but both of those feel like moves where everyone involved was having a blast the entire way through making them.
Command and conquer: Red alert. Legend. So much more. Comedy, drama, thriller. Dude’s got range.
Range al the way to… heh …SPACE!!

“oh this is a Muppet show? Very well, I shall be a Muppet as well.”
“No Tim you can just act… Oh my God he’s done it.”
The best muppet movies by far are:
Muppet Treasure Island - because Tim Curry acted like a Muppet.
The Muppet Christmas Carol - because Michael Caine acted like the Muppets were true actors.
Nothing compares to LEGEND
Holy Shit… I just found out Ridley Scott directed this movie…
Tim’s Makeup for that movie
My introduction to Tim Curry was when he played Rooster in Annie waaay back in 1982.
It’s always been wonderful to see him pop up in movies and shows (and video games) over the years, even if he’s just doing voice acting. I know it took him a while after his stroke to be able to talk normally again (he was slow and slurred in his speech for a while), but I’m surprised he hasn’t done more voice work since 2012.
what about rocky horror?
What’s rocky horror?
Oh my love, you’re in for a treat
“rocky horror” is the 1973 musical play “the rocky horror show” and the 1975 film adaptation “rocky horror picture show” - both follow a newly-engaged couple named brad and janet who were going to see dr. everett v. scott when their car broke down - they eventually went into a castle which (spoiler alert) happens to be a spaceship from the people who inhabit it - transylvanians. oh and tim curry is in it as frank-n-furter.
Fern Gully
God, all kids should be forced to watch this film. Adults too, if they somehow made it to adulthood without watching fern gully
Especially in countries most responsible for the climate catastrophe
Not just because it’s a better version of Avatar, but because Brazil is, in like 30 years, going to be a barren desert unless we start treating loggers like ivory poachers.
what about rocky horror?
I had no idea. Wow
Edit: yall. I just typed Tim Curry space in my keyboard apps gif search feature. Clicked on the first one. It’s not that deep.
I don’t have downvotes but please for the love of all this good in the world, fix your image! Remove the abomination! Here is one I had lying around.
That is not Tim Curry. Some freaky deepfake shit.
Yes, that’s him in Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3.
Someone took that clip of him from C&C and (in this instance) put someone else’s face on him through deepfake. Here’s the original.
I have horrible face blindness and even I recognized OP’s pic was not Tim Curry, lol
Not smashing!
