The Hollywood star did not confirm when the injury occurred, and it\u2019s not known if it\u2019s related to him getting hurt on the set of Avengers: Doomsday last summer.<\/p>\n
In an interview with Variety published in September 2025, Channing revealed he was out of action and facing a long recovery.<\/p>\n
With his legs outstretched, he said: \u201cIt\u2019s not about the pain I feel in the moment.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s knowing I can\u2019t take this back. And now I know what the next six months of my life will be like.\u201d<\/p>\n
He admitted that it was also difficult to accept that he\u2019s ageing.<\/p>\n
He added: \u201cI just hate getting old. In my mind, I\u2019m literally 30 years old \u2013 26, if I\u2019m honest.\u201d<\/p>\n
Channing \u2013 who will be reprising his Deadpool and Wolverine role as Gambit in Doomsday \u2013 isn\u2019t the only person to get hurt on the set of the upcoming Marvel blockbuster.<\/p>\n
Alan Cumming (Nightcrawler) recently revealed he accidentally injured Mr Fantastic actor Pedro Pascal on set.<\/p>\n
During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the host asked The Traitors US host what fans could expect from Nightcrawler in Avengers: Doomsday.<\/p>\n
He replied: \u201cAll of [the X-Men cast] are in it, too.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat was funny was that in my first scene with Pedro, he hurt his neck and had to go home. I broke Pedro.\u201d<\/p>\n
Alan insisted the mishap did not take place during a fight scene, and was simply a production slip-up.<\/p>\n
He explained: \u201cNo, I wasn\u2019t fighting. No, no. I was just, sort of, being … we were just together in a scene, and I wasn\u2019t fighting, no.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s got these big, long arms and everything, so it\u2019s quite complicated. I do have a tail, but I didn\u2019t have my tail on at the time. Pedro didn\u2019t have his arms on either.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Hollywood star did not confirm when the injury occurred, and it\u2019s not known if it\u2019s related to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":268838,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[74,95,152675,156,6098,2241,15258,111,139,69,123635,1881,1517,60971,2069,6290,135214,27342],"class_list":["post-268837","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-after","tag-and","tag-channing","tag-entertainment","tag-hard","tag-hospital","tag-injury","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-op","tag-recovery","tag-reveals","tag-shoulder","tag-stay","tag-surgery","tag-tatum","tag-undergone"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/268837","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=268837"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/268837\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/268838"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=268837"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=268837"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=268837"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
