“Glad to be alive”
This Monday (8), Access Hollywood released an excerpt of the actor’s participation in the reality show Running Wild with Bear Grylls: The Challenge, in which he revealed he suffered from severe vasculitis two years ago.
The actor explained that it took him about a year to come to his senses. Vasculitis is a very rare autoimmune disease that can cause blood vessels to become inflamed, resulting in restricted blood flow.
“You don’t really appreciate your senses until you lose them. Until you say, ‘I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to see again, I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to hear again, I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to walk again’. [Tenho] happy to be alive,” he said.
