Actor Cary Elwes, best known for starring in the 1987 film "The Princess Bride," was hospitalized after being bitten by rattlesnake in Southern California, he said on his social media on Monday.
Elwes, 59, said he was "recovering well" and clarified he wasn't bitten by "Rodents of Unusual Size," a reference to giant rat-like creatures in "The Princess Bride."
"Bit not by a ROUS but a rattlesnake. Grateful to the staff of Malibu Urgent Care, LA County Fire Dept. and the staff and medical professionals at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center for their great care," he wrote.
