Orlando Bloom reflects on 'narrowly escaping death and paralysis' after 1998 fall

foxnews.com:

Orlando Bloom took some time to reflect on a life-threatening fall the star suffered back in 1998, sharing details of the accident on social media. "That’s me in my back brace circa 1998 about 3months after I fell 3floors and crushed my spine, narrowly escaping death and paralysis," wrote the 44-year-old actor on Instagram, captioning a flick of himself riding a bike while wearing the brace and smiling, despite his injuries. "Grateful everyday for my limbs that allow me to push my limits and live life on my edge (safer now)," he added, sharing a second photo of himself today, riding with a friend.

Bloom’s fiancée, Katy Perry, commented on the post, writing, "I love you." Miranda Kerr, the actor’s ex-wife, also wrote, "So proud of you.".
