Manganiello's Hellish Health Battle for Batman Role
8 Oct
Summary
- Actor's large intestine ruptured, requiring emergency surgery.
- He wore an ostomy bag for an unknown amount of time.
- Health crisis motivated him to take on the Deathstroke role.
In 2016, actor Joe Manganiello suffered a life-threatening autoimmune disease that severely impacted his thyroid and intestines. He endured excruciating pain, leading to a hospitalization where his large intestine was about to rupture. Doctors removed his entire large intestine, diverting his small intestine to an ostomy bag.
Despite this harrowing experience and his marriage beginning to fracture, Manganiello was offered the role of Deathstroke. This opportunity served as a powerful motivator for his recovery, driving him to overcome the physical and emotional trauma of his illness.
Adapting to life with an ostomy bag presented significant challenges, affecting his sleep and daily routines. However, the prospect of portraying Deathstroke fueled his determination to regain his health, reconnect his digestive system, and return to his acting career.
