‘Prison Break’ actor Dominic Purcell is recovering after a serious on set injury, where an iron bar fell on his head, breaking his nose in two places. Sharing a photo of his bandaged nose on Instagram, the actor said he was ‘stoked’ to be alive and would be back at work asap.
“I’m good. Had a little accident on set. Haha!” Purcell captioned the pic. “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.”
“I got a free nose job out of it. Stoked to be alive. All good. Oh. I didn’t get knocked out took a knee. Ha!! Doc said I have an unusually tough tissue fiber that’s what saved me apparently. Thank god for my #Viking heritage.”
