‘I went through this in silence’: ‘Harry Potter’ actor hospitalized and undergoes urgent surgery

Stanislav Yanevski, who is most famous for playing Viktor Krum in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, one of the eight movies in the series, recently had emergency surgery after struggling with serious breathing problems. The actor, who had just turned 40 before this happened, shared details about his health scare on Instagram. He posted a picture of himself in a hospital bed with a bandaged nose and an IV in his arm.

He explained that he had been rushed to the hospital because he couldn’t breathe and needed surgery right away. Yanevski said his breathing issues had been getting worse over several months, making it harder for him to breathe normally and even affecting his sense of smell. At first, he decided to keep his health problems private because he didn’t want to upset his fans or loved ones.

After the surgery, once he was on the road to recovery, he felt ready to share the news. He also wanted to thank everyone who had sent him birthday messages and kind words during this tough time. He expressed how grateful he was for the support from his close friends and family.

Harry Potter actor had a health scare

The surgery appears to have gone well, and Yanevski’s Instagram post showed that he is making good progress. He mentioned that he is recovering nicely and expects to fully regain his ability to breathe and smell. The actor also said he is hopeful about sleeping through the night without trouble soon and getting back to full strength. His doctors have been surprised by how quickly he is healing.

He even credited part of his recovery to healthy habits, like eating well, exercising, staying disciplined, and believing in himself. However, he admitted that he is still healing and that the implants in his nose make it hard for him to talk right now. This is affecting his ability to complete some work commitments, like Cameo video requests. He promised his fans he would handle these as soon as he could.

This is the first news we’ve gotten from the series in a while, we know that the HBO show got its Snape, but this news isn’t so fun. While Yanevski’s role as Viktor Krum is still his most well-known part, he hasn’t acted much since the Harry Potter movies. His last big role was in the 2021 action film Last Man Down. His choice to keep his health struggles private matches his usual quiet personality, which was clear from his Instagram post.
