Chad Michael Murray Reveals Near-Fatal Teen Ordeal on Podcast Tour

Actor Chad Michael Murray recently shared a harrowing personal story from his youth, detailing a near-death experience that occurred when he was just 15 years old. The revelation came during a press tour for his new movie, “Freakier Friday,” where he appeared on the “Great Company” podcast with host Jamie Laing.

Murray recounted a severe medical incident involving twisted intestines and internal bleeding, which led to him losing half his blood. He spent over two months in the hospital, undergoing surgery and battling for his life, at one point hearing his father discuss last rites with a priest. A crucial blood transfusion from a nurse named Sandy ultimately saved him, though he emerged from the ordeal having lost significant weight, dropping from 180 to 118 pounds.

This life-altering event preceded his breakout roles in iconic shows like “Dawson’s Creek,” “Gilmore Girls,” and “One Tree Hill,” as well as the original “Freaky Friday.” Murray credits the experience with shaping his current commitment to a healthy lifestyle, avoiding alcohol and prioritizing clean eating to prevent a recurrence of such a severe health crisis.
