Tim Currys ironischer Humor war bei seltenen Auftreten für das 50 -jährige Jubiläumsvorführung der „Rocky Horror Picture Show“ voll ausgestattet.

[Tim Curry made a surprise appearance](https://www.cnn.com/2025/10/06/entertainment/tim-curry-rocky-horror-picture-show?utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=missions&utm_source=reddit) at a 50th anniversary screening of “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” over the weekend at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles as part of the long-running [Cinespia screening series](https://cinespia.org/), where love from an adoring, multigenerational audience came in the form of several standing ovations.

Curry’s costar Barry Bostwick in the 1975 film introduced him just ahead of the screening, saying he “wouldn’t be here tonight if it wasn’t for a young actor named Tim Curry, who took a chance at one time, and put his blossoming career potentially up in the air when he put on 6-inch high heels.”

The 79-year-old actor, also famous for his starring role in ’80s gem “Clue,” addressed the audience from a a wheelchair, which he has been using [since a stroke](https://apnews.com/video/tim-curry-shares-details-about-his-health-a75d87c9abf14caabed76243f6ed0ca4) in 2012.

With his signature wit, Curry told the crowd: “I’d like to tell you that I haven’t been legless before tonight, but it wouldn’t be true. I’m, unfortunately, currently sitting in a wheelchair, so get over it!”

He also joked with Bostwick, 80, saying, “When Barry was being introduced, he was introduced as ‘OG,’ and I’m assuming that means ‘old geyser.’”
