Harry Potter star rushed to hospital for emergency surgery after experiencing breathing difficulties
Bulgarian actor Stanislav Yanevski, known for his role as Viktor Krum in the Harry Potter film series, was recently rushed to the hospital, where he underwent emergency surgery to treat his 'inability to breathe.'
The 40-year-old shared the news on Instagram on Friday, alongside a hospital selfie taken right after he had come out of the surgical room.
Yanevski, who celebrated his birthday on May 16, wrote that 'soon after my birthday I was hospitalised due to inability to breathe.'
'I was taken into surgery and the photo was taken right after I had come out of the surgical room,' he explained. 'As always and those who know me closer, I went through this in silence as I didn't want to scare or worry anybody. I've always been this way. I fight through struggles in quiet. Of course I had support from the few I had told and my family for which I'm very thankful.'
He added that he is still recovering, but that 'things are looking great.'
'I will be able to breathe freely, experience all scents of life, which was something I had lost over the past months,' Yanevski shared. 'I will be able to sleep without struggles, recover properly with peaceful sleep and be at my full powers very soon. I still have a few pieces planted in my nose, so I'm not able to talk freely, so please have some patience with Cameo — I stopped it, so I'm not available for bookings until I can talk properly again.'
He added: 'I had a checkup with my doctor today and he said that I'm recovering really well and was actually quite surprised with my progress. I guess all the healthy diets, training and self control and belief help in such cases.'
Thanking his fans for all the 'love and support,' he signed off: 'Much love from me to you all and have a wonderful and majestic weekend ahead. Yours truly, Stan.'
Yanevski portrayed Quidditch star Viktor Krum in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005), the fourth movie in the popular wizarding film series based on J.K. Rowling's best-selling books.
Krum was introduced as the seeker for the Bulgarian national team, who arrived at Hogwarts for the Triwizard Tournament. With his strong build, he instantly became a heartthrob at Hogwarts, trailed constantly by adoring classmates. However, it was studious Hermione Granger (Emma Watson), with whom he took an interest. The two attended the Yule Ball together, causing tension between Hermione and Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint), who had unresolved feelings for each other.
Following his debut screen role in Harry Potter, Yanevski went on to appear in Eli Roth's 2007 horror Hostel: Part II and the 2014 war thriller Resistance.
He also featured in 11 episodes of the five-season Bulgarian action series Pod prikritie. His latest screen credit is the 2021 action thriller Last Man Down, in which he played Dr. Feltspat.
In recent years, Yanevski has spent his time documenting his life on YouTube and creating personalized videos for fans on Cameo.

Made In Chelsea star Nicola Hughes welcomes second child with husband Charlie Tupper
Made in Chelsea star Nicola Hughes has welcomed her second child with husband Charlie Tupper. The 35-year-old took to Instagram to announce the happy news, sharing a photo of her newborn son Seve wearing knitted boots. She wrote on social media: 'Welcome to the world Seve.' Nicola and Charlie, who live in Spain, are already parents to two-year-old daughter Penelope who was born in October 2022. The pair tied the knot in 2021 after getting engaged in Ibiza the year before. Friends and family took to the comments to congratulate Nicola, with former Made in Chelsea star Lucy Watson saying: 'Can't wait to meet him.' Another person wrote: 'Awh congratulations!! So special. Enjoy the bubble and sending so much love to you all xx.' 'Over the moon for you all, love the name,' said another. Earlier this year, Nicola explained how her trip to London was cut short after she was admitted to hospital. "Little did I know our trip to London would be cut short by me getting admitted to hospital," she said on social media. She added: "I haven't spoken much about my pregnancy on here but it's been a very different experience to my last. "I was admitted as there was a concern my plancenta [sic] was detaching, and within minutes of being admitted I was told there's a chance I will be in theatre by the end of the day. "The fear of not having a home in the UK and my first born being in Spain was something I never want to experience ever again. "Safe to say I won't be taking anymore travel risks."

5 zombie movies like 28 Years Later
Danny Boyle and Alex Garland's new film, 28 Years Later, brought their iconic zombie franchise back to the spotlight. Centering on a new group of survivors long after the Rage virus that has devastated the United Kingdom, 28 Years Later sets up a sprawling and exhilarating tale of action and horror that will surely heighten people's appetite for good zombie movies. Thankfully, fans of the film can treat themselves to several similar zombie movies that have been released over the years. Given how popular the zombie subgenre has become, it can be a challenge for one to narrow down their viewing choices when there are so many options available. However, those who loved 28 Years Later should now have these five films at the top of their watchlist. Recommended Videos REC (2007) This Spanish horror film follows a reporter and her camera operator when they are quarantined inside a building where a virus is spreading, turning those inside into zombies. Similar to 28 Years Later and its shaky iPhone camerawork, REC presents its story with 'found footage' taken by one of the characters, making for an immersive and heart-pounding viewing experience. Though Boyle and Garland's new film is far less claustrophobic than REC, the latter also seems to incorporate a supernatural element into its terrifying depiction of the zombie apocalypse. REC is available to stream on Tubi, Amazon Prime Video, YouTube, Google Play, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home. Overlord (2018) This zombie movie begins with a group of U.S. soldiers who end up fighting for their lives in a dangerous land already ravaged by war: Nazi-occupied France. There, they discover the Third Reich conducting human experiments on villagers, turning them into savage members of the undead. Both Overlord and 28 Years Later feature a healthy dose of over-the-top gore and action to satisfy hardcore zombie fans, all while presenting the horrors of war and violence carried out by humans and zombies alike. Overlord is available to stream on Tubi, Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home. I Am Legend (2007) Loosely based on Richard Matheson's classic novel, I Am Legend centers around a scientist seeking to find a cure for a virus that has wiped out most of humanity and mutated the survivors into vampiric cannibals. Please note that the film's alternate ending, which was replaced with the one seen in theaters, is widely regarded as the canonical, superior conclusion. Like 28 Years Later and its predecessors, this modern adaptation of I Am Legend explores grief, loss, and humanity's potential for evil, with some characters appearing to act even worse than the zombies, making for an especially dark and thought-provoking narrative. I Am Legend is available to stream on Peacock, Amazon Prime Video, YouTube, Google Play, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home. Army of the Dead (2021) Army of the Dead follows a team of former mercenaries who try to rob a casino in Las Vegas years after a zombie plague has ravaged the city. Like 28 Years Later, director Zack Snyder's action-packed zombie film follows its heroes as they leave the comfort of their homes to explore a zombie-infested land. It also features different breeds of zombies, including the slow-walking shamblers and the quick, intelligent Alphas, adding different levels of terror and action to the story. Snyder's film even mirrors the fantasy-inspired aesthetic of 28 Years Later, with the Alpha zombie, Zeus, ruling over his undead army in the ruins of Las Vegas like a medieval king. Army of the Dead is available to stream on Netflix. 28 Days Later (2002) This is a fairly obvious choice, but fans of 28 Years Later should catch up on the film that started Boyle and Garland's whole horror franchise. Led by actor Cillian Murphy decades before Oppenheimer, 28 Days Later follows a man who wakes up from a coma in a post-apocalyptic London, where he is forced to survive against hordes of infected zombies and radical human survivors. 28 Days Later is known for popularizing super-fast zombies with the frenetic, frightening visuals replicated in the threequel. While 28 Years Later takes place long after the initial zombie outbreak, the original film also explores how people try to rebuild and maintain society while blurring the line that separates humans from the infected. 28 Days Later is available to stream on Pluto TV, Fandango at Home, Google Play, Apple TV, and Amazon Prime Video.
