Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows actor Nick Moran is recovering from emergency spinal surgery.
“Nick’s girlfriend was saying ‘You’ve got to get [your neck pain] checked out,’ but as a bloke, he said, ‘No, I’ll put some deep heat on it’ then he went to the doctors and got sent to A&E and [was] told ‘We’d like to take you in for an emergency operation because that is life-threatening,’” his friend Terry Stone told the Every day Mail on Friday, April 11.
Moran, best known for taking part in Scabious in each Deathly Hollows movies, hurt his neck after sustaining an undisclosed injury.
“I spoke to one in every of his relations and he damaged his neck by some means and it’s affecting his spinal cord and among the things that operate your speech and your legs,” Stone said of the 55-year-old actor. “He’s recovering.”
While Moran is currently on the mend, Stone claimed that doctors told him pre-surgery that “he might never walk or talk again.”
“He’s not in the very best of health, but when he got here out of the operation, I used to be like, ‘Thank God,’” Stone said. “I believe he’d decided he’d somewhat not walk or talk than die.”
Throughout the procedure, Moran had several neck bones replaced with artificial ones.
“There’s so many nerves across the neck and spine that made the operation tricky with those awful probabilities of not with the ability to speak or walk again,” Stone explained to the outlet, noting that Moran is awake and alert.
“He’s speaking now, which is a great sign, but he’s shuffling around like a 100-year-old and has a neck brace on and taking it easy,” Stone said.
