Hoai Linh, Huynh Anh Tuan's manager, said that for the past 10 days, the actor has been working with medical professionals to regain some bodily functions. Due to his weakened state, he is limiting his work to avoid straining his breathing and voice. Although movement is still challenging, he can walk, eat, and attend to personal hygiene independently. The actor plans to stay in Can Tho for about a month before returning to Ho Chi Minh City.
In addition to doctors, Huynh Anh Tuan has family members by his side providing constant care. Although he misses the film set and his audience, he doesn't want to make a public appearance yet. "He doesn't want to be seen while he's still recovering, so his family and team are respecting his wishes," his manager said.

Recently, several edited videos on social media have spread false rumors about Huynh Anh Tuan. On TikTok, an account falsely reported the actor's death, attracting over 600,000 views. "We didn't want to comment much on his health, but some information caused concern among fans, so the team had to provide an update," the manager explained.
During his recovery, Huynh Anh Tuan has been re-watching his old cooking videos and reading well wishes from colleagues and fans, using them as motivation to focus on his health. Some fans have reached out to send gifts, but the actor has requested they "keep their kind thoughts with him."
The actor has asked his assistant to continue producing culinary vlogs to keep his passion for cooking alive. The team is currently filming and updating the channel about once a week. The cooking channel is a passion project for the artist, which he has nurtured over the past few years after moving from the city to the countryside. Before his stroke, he invested nearly 200 million VND in renovating his old kitchen and building a thatched wooden house, inspired by traditional western-style huts.

In early July, while filming in Ba Ria - Vung Tau, the actor collapsed in the restroom. He was quickly discovered and rushed to the nearest hospital, then transferred to Ho Chi Minh City University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital that night. Initially, his condition was critical, and his family and team kept the details private. "Thanks to intensive treatment and his own resilience, he overcame the danger and made a miraculous recovery," his manager said at the time.
Huynh Anh Tuan was a heartthrob of the Vietnamese screen in the 1990s, known for his handsome face and romantic style. He rose to fame through films like "Em va Michael," "Bien Dong," "Dat Khach," "Nhung Dua Con Thanh Pho," "Huong Phu Sa," "Cong Tu Bac Lieu," and "Nu Trinh Sat Dac Nhiem." The actor frequently co-starred with Viet Trinh, Diem Huong, and Y Phung, forming beloved on-screen couples.

In recent years, he has acted less, choosing scripts more selectively to suit his age and health. At the end of 2024, he returned to the big screen with the action film "Domino: Loi Thoat Cuoi Cung." Playing Hoang The, a cunning and ruthless tycoon, Huynh Anh Tuan's performance intensified the film's dramatic tension.
