James McAvoy had near-death experience after failed medical procedure

James McAvoy had near-death experience after failed medical procedure

Actor James McAvoy narrowly escaped death in 2017 after a lung biopsy led to a collapsed lung and a severe infection. Following weeks of hospitalization and a final invasive surgery, he successfully completed an intense recovery process to prepare for his role in the film Glass.

In 2017, actor James McAvoy experienced a life-threatening health crisis following a lung biopsy. Although the initial procedure ruled out cancer, McAvoy suffered a collapsed lung just two days after returning home alone. He spent several weeks in the hospital battling a persistent infection that failed to respond to standard treatments. Ultimately, doctors had to perform an invasive surgery to clean the infected area, an ordeal that required a lengthy recovery period for the actor.

Remarkably, this health scare occurred shortly before McAvoy was scheduled to begin filming Glass, the sequel to the thriller Split. Following his discharge, the actor underwent an intense four-week rehabilitation program to regain his physical strength. Despite only being able to walk at the start, he managed to get back into peak physical condition, working with a trainer to achieve the muscular aesthetic required to portray his character, The Beast, in the movie.
