A beloved 45-year-old cinematic star is currently in the recovery room after shoulder surgery. He took to social media to post candid snapshots from his hospital bed, revealing an X-ray of his injured shoulder, now featuring a surgical screw. This injury, which he had previously hinted at while shooting the blockbuster Avengers: Doomsday, has raised eyebrows.
The 45-year-old star shared a black and white image to his social media this morning, revealing he is in the hospital for shoulder surgery. He posted an x-ray showing a "separated shoulder" and another with a screw in it, captioned "screwed shoulder. Yay." While the exact reason for the surgery and recovery timeline remain undisclosed, he had previously mentioned an injury sustained while filming Avengers: Doomsday. Fans have sent messages of support following his announcement.
The star shared the update on his social media this morning. He posted a black and white image from what appears to be a hospital setting. In the caption accompanying the image, he wrote: “Just another day. Another challenge. This one is gonna be hard. But whatever. Let’s get it in.”
He did not initially reveal the reason for his hospital stay on his main social media grid. However, he later shared two photos to his Stories that provided more context. The first photo displayed an x-ray of his shoulder with the words "separated shoulder" written over it. The second image was another x-ray, clearly showing a screw in his shoulder. Over this second x-ray, he wrote: “screwed shoulder. Yay.”
Many fans responded to his Instagram post with messages of support. One fan wrote: “Hope you are okay. Sending you love & positive vibes.” Another commented: “I'm sorry about what happened, I hope it's not serious.” A third fan offered: “You got this. Overcoming obstacles is your superpower. Sending you so much love and thinking of you always. Speedy recovery.”
The Magic Mike actor did not provide any further details regarding the duration of his hospital stay or his expected recovery period. It is not clear whether his current surgery is connected to a previous injury. He had mentioned in September that he had been injured while filming Avengers: Doomsday. This film was shot last year and is scheduled for release in cinemas this December. However, it remains uncertain if his surgery is directly related to that specific injury or if it is for a different issue entirely.
Prior to sharing the photos of his surgery, the star's last post to his social media page was 10 days ago. At that time, he shared pictures from Magic Mike Live, which is the stage version based on the hit film where he played a male stripper.
The star, who is a dad-of-one, is currently dating Australian model Inka Williams, who is 26 years old. She is almost 20 years his junior. He shares his 12-year-old daughter, Everly, with his ex-wife Jenna Dewan. He met Jenna Dewan on the set of the 2006 film Step Up.
