Jennifer Aniston is in a trance over her new hypnotist beau, Jim Curtis – but sources say he'll never be seen walking the red carpet with her because his mysterious limp reminds him of a painful past he's not ready to make public, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
"He's deeply self-conscious about the way he walks," said a source close to the former Wall Street trader turned life coach. "Even after everything he's overcome, he's not ready to be seen walking red carpets."
Painful Accident Details
Jim Curtis once battled a spinal condition that nearly left him paralyzed.
As RadarOnline.com first reported, Curtis walks with a noticeable limp, the result of a devastating spinal condition that nearly paralyzed him in his 20s.
For years, he claimed it was from a motorcycle accident – but in reality, he was battling lesions on his spinal cord, chronic nerve damage and depression.
"He was in so much pain, he said he wanted to die," the source revealed. "He's worked hard to rebuild his life, but that trauma still lingers."
