Newsweek<\/a> in August 2025, admitting he\u2019s insecure about some of his physical features.<\/p>\n\u201cI don\u2019t like my nose because it\u2019s not my nose,\u201d he told the outlet. \u201cI got jumped in a Burger King and my nose surgery was a couple posts, pop it back into place, hold two tennis balls at Cedar Sinai, and there you go.\u201d<\/p>\n
A 1999 yearbook pic of the actor before the injury has now gone viral on X, with fans marvelling at the noticeable change in his appearance.<\/p>\n
\u201cLooks like a totally different person WOW,\u201d one commenter said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis can\u2019t be real he was on Gilmore girls 1 year later and looked nothing like this,\u201d one fan wrote.<\/p>\n
Another fan observed, \u201cA diff nose can totally change ur face cus this don\u2019t look nun like him.\u201d<\/p>\n
A lot of commenters praised his post-nose injury look, too.<\/p>\n
\u201cFunny how things that seem awful can be a blessing in disguise,\u201d one fan mused. \u201cHe was objectively good looking before, but almost *too* perfect. The nose after the break is more unique, gives him character and more of an edge, and makes him even more attractive.\u201d<\/p>\n
A Reddit thread dedicated to the topic jokes, \u201cImagine getting jumped and you come out looking better lol.\u201d<\/p>\n
Murray getting beat up at a Burger King wasn\u2019t his only harrowing experience as a teen. He revealed he suffered a serious health scare when he was just 15 years old during his appearance on the Great Company podcast last August.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy intestines had twisted, and I was hospitalised for two and a half months. It was a lot,\u201d he recalled.<\/p>\n
Murray said after he underwent surgery to correct the problem, he suffered internal bleeding.<\/p>\n
\u201cI lost 50 per cent of my blood,\u201d he added. \u201cI was on my deathbed.\u201d<\/p>\n
