Legends Of Tomorrow Star Suffers Gruesome Injury On Prison Break Set

Dominic Purcell survived time travelling adventures as Heatwave on Legends of Tomorrow, but despite easily handling immortal despots and armies of powerful soldiers, it's his return to Prison Break that has seriously injured the actor.

While filming the return to the FOX series, which will see a mid-season premiere after a few years off the air, Purcell had an iron bar fall on his head in Morocco, drawing blood from his head and breaking his nose twice.

The 46 year-old actor was taken by helicopter to a hospital where he got "100 stitches" in his head and "a free nose job out of it." "I'm good. Thanks for support. Had a little accident on set," Purcell wrote on his instagram. "Pays to have a thick skull when an iron bar falls on your head!" He thanked God for his "Viking heritage" and seemed to take a pretty positive stance on it all.

In fact, Purcell is already back in the gym trying to build himself back up from "losing 12 pounds in the desert" while he's recovering until he can be back to work. Here's wishing Dominic a speedy recovery.
