Harry Potter star rushed to hospital for emergency surgery after experiencing breathing difficulties
Bulgarian actor Stanislav Yanevski, known for his role as Viktor Krum in the Harry Potter film series, was recently rushed to the hospital, where he underwent emergency surgery to treat his 'inability to breathe.'
The 40-year-old shared the news on Instagram on Friday, alongside a hospital selfie taken right after he had come out of the surgical room.
Yanevski, who celebrated his birthday on May 16, wrote that 'soon after my birthday I was hospitalised due to inability to breathe.'
'I was taken into surgery and the photo was taken right after I had come out of the surgical room,' he explained. 'As always and those who know me closer, I went through this in silence as I didn't want to scare or worry anybody. I've always been this way. I fight through struggles in quiet. Of course I had support from the few I had told and my family for which I'm very thankful.'
He added that he is still recovering, but that 'things are looking great.'
'I will be able to breathe freely, experience all scents of life, which was something I had lost over the past months,' Yanevski shared. 'I will be able to sleep without struggles, recover properly with peaceful sleep and be at my full powers very soon. I still have a few pieces planted in my nose, so I'm not able to talk freely, so please have some patience with Cameo — I stopped it, so I'm not available for bookings until I can talk properly again.'
He added: 'I had a checkup with my doctor today and he said that I'm recovering really well and was actually quite surprised with my progress. I guess all the healthy diets, training and self control and belief help in such cases.'
Thanking his fans for all the 'love and support,' he signed off: 'Much love from me to you all and have a wonderful and majestic weekend ahead. Yours truly, Stan.'
Yanevski portrayed Quidditch star Viktor Krum in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005), the fourth movie in the popular wizarding film series based on J.K. Rowling's best-selling books.
Krum was introduced as the seeker for the Bulgarian national team, who arrived at Hogwarts for the Triwizard Tournament. With his strong build, he instantly became a heartthrob at Hogwarts, trailed constantly by adoring classmates. However, it was studious Hermione Granger (Emma Watson), with whom he took an interest. The two attended the Yule Ball together, causing tension between Hermione and Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint), who had unresolved feelings for each other.
Following his debut screen role in Harry Potter, Yanevski went on to appear in Eli Roth's 2007 horror Hostel: Part II and the 2014 war thriller Resistance.
He also featured in 11 episodes of the five-season Bulgarian action series Pod prikritie. His latest screen credit is the 2021 action thriller Last Man Down, in which he played Dr. Feltspat.
In recent years, Yanevski has spent his time documenting his life on YouTube and creating personalized videos for fans on Cameo.

Royal Baby Debut! Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia Bring Baby Ines to Her First Official Event
Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia of Sweden officially introduced their baby daughter Princess Ines to the public on Sweden's National Day The royal couple welcomed their fourth child and first daughter on Feb. 7 Baby Princess Ines made her balcony debut for her grandfather King Carl XVI Gustaf's birthday in April, but National Day marked her first official eventPrince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia of Sweden introduced their baby daughter Princess Ines to the world on a meaningful day. On June 6, Sweden's National Day, the royal couple brought their infant daughter along to open the Royal Palace in Stockholm for special visiting hours. Prince Carl Philip, 46, and Princess Sofia, 40, welcomed their fourth child (and first daughter!) on Feb. 7, and named her Ines Marie Lillian Silvia. The infant princess made her public debut on the Royal Palace balcony for King Carl XVI Gustaf's April 30 birthday and attended her first event with her parents on National Day. Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia were all smiles as they stepped out at the Royal Palace with their baby daughter, who turns 4 months old tomorrow. There, the mom and daughter matched in the traditional Sverigedräkten (national dress) in blue and yellow hues, reflecting the national flag, as Sofia and Carl Philip welcomed people to the palace. The couple opened the palace's southern gates at 10 a.m., local time, to welcome the public to the inner courtyard, where Prince Carl Philip gave a brief speech. "Ladies and gentlemen, a warm welcome to the Royal Palace. How nice that so many of you have come here today!" he said in part. "Being able to gather here on Sweden's National Day means a lot to my family and me. The royal palaces are an important part of our cultural heritage. Therefore, it is a pleasure to welcome you into these unique environments filled with history, art and stories." Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia also gave a fun peek behind the scenes in a video shared to Instagram. The clip opened with a selfie-style shot of the couple smiling inside the palace, and rolled to show them meeting paramedics and greeting the public with Princess Ines in tow. Carl Philip is the second child and only son of King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia of Sweden, and will celebrate ten years of marriage with his wife, Sofia, next week on June 13. The couple tied the knot almost a decade ago and went on to welcome sons Prince Alexander, 9, Prince Gabriel, 7 and Prince Julian, 4. At the start of the year, their family expanded when Princess Ines was born, and the couple gave her middle names to honor her grandmothers. Sofia's mother is named Marie, while Carl Philip's mom is Queen Silvia. Can't get enough of PEOPLE's Royals coverage? to get the latest updates on Kate Middleton, Meghan Markle and more!

Neon dreams and nature scenes make for two very different home decor trends in 2025
Home decor's got a split personality this year: Call it 'city glow' and 'cottage flow.' At the two international design fairs that I attended — Maison et Objet in France, Ambiente in Germany — acres of exhibition booths were full of Art Deco furnishings , island-vibe rattan seating and lighting, and lots of emphasis on sustainably produced materials.
