GRAPHIC WARNING– Tish Cyrus‘s new husband Dominic Purcell leaves his fans in shock on Sunday after sharing a graphic throwback photo of the facial injuries he sustained while filming one of his projects.
The Prison Break actor‘s face soaked with blood after an iron bar struck him during a shoot, fracturing his skull and crushing his nose.
Purcell, 54, insisted the injuries were real and not a makeup job.
‘It’s Not Make Up’
‘NO ITS NOT MAKE UP. When an iron bar breaks your face and cracks ya skull. You get it fixed and you move on,’ he wrote in the caption.
How the Injury Happened
He reportedly suffered the injury in Morocco while he was filming a scene that turned life-threatening in an instant.
‘One minute I’m running the next a tremendous force exploded upon me. My stunty @johnnymacstunts came running to my side and said ‘doesn’t look good. Your nose is smashed and I can see your skull. I replied “that’s not good”.
‘Point is – I thought for sure I was going to have a brain bleed, pass out and die. I found it amusing that my end would be in the desert, with not a hospital insight doing what I love most.

What Surprised Him About Himself
‘On reflection it’s how I accepted death that’s always puzzled me. I guess it’s just that. I accepted it.’
The news comes come after recent reports that the Cyrus family are feuding behind the scenes.
Purcell tied the knot with Miley Cyrus‘s mother in August 2023 following her divorce from her husband of 28 years, Billy Ray.
While some family members such as daughter Miley were present for the wedding, Tish’s kids Noah and Braison were absent from the nuptials – fueling speculation of a rift at the time.
