I didn’t talk about about it for 10-15 years

No doubt, I would be embarrassed to admit to this. They wrote this whole article and didn’t mention how stupid it is.

Using real knives is so colossally stupid, Britney Spears even uses fake knives in her unhinged solo Instagram dance videos.

This is like getting shot while doing a TikTok and then writing a whole article on it for the Guardian how you finished the TikTok and it was emotional to go back.

As someone committed to my craft, I’ve always believed that the show must go on. An accident in my second year of university took it to new extremes.

That was your takeaway??

some serious method acting

I have a lot of goddamned questions this article doesn't answer

I have no recollection of the journey to the hospital. My clearest memory is being face down in a hospital bed, surrounded by doctors and nurses. I remember going into an MRI scan and giggling as they removed my nipple piercings. Looking back, it was clear I was in shock. It turns out the blade had gone 7.8cm deep in my back. It had partially severed a nerve in my spinal cord and missed my aorta by about a centimetre.

He didn't sue, which was stupid. This was an easily preventable issue, with only the most basic sense of responsibility. The director of that show should have been fired, prosecuted, and sued. So should the school.

He has numbness in his leg to this day. He has a permanent injury due to incompetence and neglect by a wealthy University. THIS is exactly what lawsuits are for.

This is peak drama kid. Why would it have to be sharp?

Dude, I refuse to accept that these are real people. Wanna know why? Every fake knife I've ever used on stage, I've tried to stab myself with. It's fun to push the knife into the handle, or bend the rubber blade.

I'd be looking for a murder charge, personally.

Did the other actor really not realise they actually stabbed the person? I can assume actually stabbing someone would feel a little different than fake stabbing someone
