The actor shared a gruesome photo of the injury on Instagram and promised to be “back at work asap.”
“Pays to have a thick skull when an iron bar falls on your #head!! busting it open severely also broke my nose in two places. Haha. I got a free nose job out of it…… Stoked to be alive. All good,” he wrote.
