George Lopez: Quitting Stand-Up Comedy at 55
Tagged: George Lopez
One of the most prominent Mexican-Americans to be recognized in mainstream American popular culture, George Lopez has decided to retire from stand-up comedy when he turns the age of 55 in nine years time. The 46-year-old Latino funnyman explains that he doesn’t want to risk his health as he hits his 60s.
Lopez, who previously starred in the sitcom George Lopez for five years, already had one major health scare. He suffered from a genetic disorder in 2005, which caused his kidneys to deteriorate. That same year, he received a kidney transplant from his wife. Since then, the couple has become spokespeople for the National Kidney Foundation.
