Last month, the London Has Fallen star was hospitalized after a traumatizing motorcycle accident.
The actor was ‘cut off by a car,’ which caused him to fly off his bike, according to TMZ.
In a later interview with The Talk, Gerard revealed that he suffered ‘five fractures in my right foot alone, because I landed right on my knees’.
He added: ‘So I’ve done my knees in and my left foot. And this had been the busiest period of my career.’
