Iconic actor Tim Curry has been spotted on a rare outing in Los Angeles. It comes 13 years after the 79-year-old star suffered a major stroke.

Tim was seen wearing a red sweater and black trousers with a bright pair of red trainers. He also wore a pair of black sunglasses. The actor was being pushed in his wheelchair by a helper on the outing.

In 2012, the Hollywood star was left partially paralysed down one side after suffering a stroke at his Los Angeles home. The medical incident also affected his speech.

Since the devastating scare, Tim has stepped away from his acting career and remained largely out of the public eye. Prior to his stroke, Tim had enjoyed a successful acting career.

His fame grew tremendously when he took on the role of Dr Frank-N-Furter in The Rocky Horror Picture Show. He also played the part of Wadsworth the butler in the cult classic Clue before playing Pennywise the Dancing Clown in adaptation of Stephen King’s It in 1990.

His last role came last year, which marked his first feature film role in 14 yeas. He played a part in the horror movie called Stream. He has also had a number of voice acting roles as he kept involved in the industry.
