In a speech given during the festival’s closing ceremony on Monday, theAmerican Beautyactor shared more details about his health scare.
“I experienced something here today that was unexpected,” he said, recalling his visit to a local mausoleum. “I was looking at these extraordinary murals on the walls, and I suddenly felt my entire left arm go numb for about eight seconds.”
Though he “shook it off,” he “immediately told the people I was with and we went immediately to the … medical center.”
“I spent the afternoon there having a variety of tests. Staff took care of me, and even put me through an MRI,” he continued. “Everything turned out to be completely normal, and I’m grateful it’s not anything more serious.”
