Harry Potter star rushed to hospital for emergency surgery

The star's ability to breathe was hindered.

The actor underwent the surgery after being left unable to breathe.

The incident occurred shortly after his 40th birthday.

Stanislav Yanevski portrayed Viktor Krum, who escorted Hermione to the ball, in The Goblet of Fire.

Fans were shocked to hear of his recent health scare due to his very active lifestyle, which he shares on Instagram.

Taking to the social media platform, he wrote: “I was taken into surgery and the photo was taken right after I had come out of the surgical room.

"As always and those who know me closer, I went through this in silence as I didn’t want to scare or worry anybody. I’ve always been this way. I fight through struggles in quiet. Of course I had support from the few I had told and my family for which I’m very thankful," he shared.

The actor did not specify his diagnosis, but said doctor's were 'surprised' by his progress.

“I had a checkup with my doctor today and he said that I’m recovering really well and was actually quite surprised with my progress.

"I guess all the healthy diets, training and self control and belief help in such cases.

“I will be able to breathe freely, experience all scents of life, which was something I had lost over the past months. I will be able to sleep without struggles, recover properly with peaceful sleep and be at my full powers very soon," continued Yanevski.

Like many others in the business, the 40-year-old has continued work in the form on Cameo.

Cameo is a site on which people request messages from their favourite stars.

Speaking about his Cameo work, he explained: “I still have a few pieces planted in my nose, so I’m not able to talk freely, so please have some patience with Cameo – I stopped it, so I’m not available for bookings until I can talk properly again.”
