Jacob Elordi broke both his heels in a freak accident earlier this year.
The Wuthering Heights star, 29, had to pull out of his role as a juror at the Cannes Film Festival in May due to an unspecified injury and now the actor has revealed he broke bones in both his feet.
During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, he explained: "I broke both my heels earlier this year. Don’t talk about it. It’s like, it’s like Fight Club. I jumped off something."
Jacob went on to reveal he was left wearing a cast and a "moon boot" while he was filming the final series of his hit TV show Euphoria and art mirrored real life as his character Nate also suffered a nasty foot injury.
The actor joked: "I was in a cast and a moon boot the same time that Nate was getting his digits cut off. Everyone thought it was hilarious to be like: 'Oh, method acting. You did method acting.' I was like: 'Yeah, I cut my toe off'."
Jacob's character Nate has a toe cut off by Naz, played by Jack Topalian, and they used a pair of clippers to snip off a prosthetic digit.
Topalian previously told New York Post column PageSix: "There’s a cutting of a particular body part that my character takes great pleasure in doing.
"The clippers that they gave me have pretty sharp edges. So I had to be really mindful of that, because at one point, I do put it around Jake’s toe.
"If I squeezed a little too hard, it would literally cut his toe. But everything turned out well! There were no mishaps, no accidents."
Jacob previously admitted he suffered a nasty back injury while making Wuthering Heights due to a mishap in the shower.
He told Esquire magazine: "The full story is that, when I was doing [the movie] Frankenstein, I had so much make-up in my fingers and in my feet all the time, and I left it on for the whole shoot because I couldn’t be bothered washing it all off.
"As Heathcliff [in Wuthering Heights], I was covered in mange and dirt, and I thought, ‘I’m not going to do that again, I’m going to clean my feet properly every night and come in to work fresh the next day.'
"So I went to clean my feet, and I leaned back and my back seared into the steam knob and I stood up screaming; it tore up my back. When I went to work on Monday, I had a second-degree burn."
