Chad Michael Murray's near-death experience
Chad Michael Murray was once so close to death, his family called in a priest to perform the last rites. The 43-year-old actor revealed he spent two months in hospital as a teenager when his intestines became twisted, which led to internal bleeding and Chad lost 50 per cent of his blood leaving him on his 'deathbed'. Speaking on the Great Company podcast, Chad said: 'I was in hospital for two and a half months. It was a lot. [I was] in and out of consciousness. 'We had surgery. I had internal bleeding, I lost 50 per cent of my blood. I was on my deathbed. 'I just remember seeing my father, the weakest I'd ever seen him, and a priest at the end of my bed. They're talking about last rites and all that stuff, and [the nurse, Sandy] gave me a blood transfusion to save my life. It saved my life.' Chad didn't reveal his exact diagnosis but explained he had to have a second surgery to 'clean up' his internal organs. He explained: 'Regardless, you're in there for two months and, you know, my organs shut down because you have blood all coagulated around them, and they had to wait till everything [healed more]. So, anyway, I had to have a second surgery to clean everything up. 'I went from, like, 180 to 118 pounds. I was a skeleton when I got out. I remember looking in the mirror the first time going, 'Who is that?' Like, I cried. I couldn't believe that I was looking back at that guy.' Despite his terrifying ordeal, Chad credits his hospital stay with helping his break into Hollywood, after one of his nurses, a model named Alana, encouraged him to take up modelling. He said: 'Alana says to me, 'Oh gosh, you should model'. I was like, 'I don't want to model. I want to be an actor. Like, I love film and television. I want to give this gift to other people.' And she's like, 'Well, you can segue from modelling into acting. Look, when you get out, I'm hooking you up with this modelling company I know.' And she meant it.' And, Chad credits his illness with bringing him and his father closer together. He said: 'I started my relationship with God, and my relationship with my father became really close. My dad [was] raising five kids on his own [and] came to the hospital every single day, and he spent countless nights with me when he had four more kids at home.'

Comedy Legend Bill Murray to Lead NASCAR's Enjoy Illinois 300
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Actor and comedian Bill Murray has been named as the Grand Marshal for the Enjoy Illinois 300 NASCAR Cup Series race on September 7. The 74-year-old will say those famous words before the race at the World Wide Technology Raceway. NASCAR Grand Marshals saying "Drivers, start your engines" was inspired by the 1953 Indianapolis 500. The original version addressed drivers as "Gentlemen," but with the participation of female drivers in the sport, it evolved into "Ladies and gentlemen," eventually settling on a more neutral greeting. Murray's iconic entertainment career spans over 40 years. He gained immense popularity through his Emmy Award-winning role on the Saturday Night Live show in the late 1970s. In the 1980s, he became known for his roles in Caddyshack (1980), Ghostbusters (1984), and Ghostbusters II (1989). Murray also had his stint with filmmaking through movies like Quick Change, which was released in 1990. WWT Raceway announced on X that Murray will be the NASCAR Grand Marshal next month for the Enjoy Illinois 300. The post read: Bill Murray attends the "The Phoenician Scheme" red carpet at the 78th annual Cannes Film Festival at Palais des Festivals on May 18, 2025 in Cannes, France.

Be there to witness the legend say the most famous words in motorsports. 🎤🏁 — WWT Raceway (@WWTRaceway) August 7, 2025 The 2025 NASCAR season also marks the return of the Xfinity Series to the WWT Raceway after 15 years, given its last event in 2010. Earlier, the series was hosted between 1997 and 2010. The Xfinity race will be a 200-lap, 250-mile event at the WWT Raceway, which is slated to host the race until 2031. Speaking on the return of the Xfinity Series to the WWT Raceway, owner and CEO Curtis Francois said last year: "Ever since I purchased and reopened the track, one of the most-asked questions has been 'When will the Xfinity Series come back? I'm happy to finally share with our loyal fans that they are coming back in 2025. We greatly appreciate NASCAR's willingness to reunite us with the Xfinity Series, which previously had been a staple and fan favorite at this facility. "World Wide Technology Raceway's list of Xfinity Series winners and participants proves that this truly is one of the tracks where legends are born. Our track is perfectly designed for intense racing action and each event always generated a tremendous amount of excitement and drama, both on and off the track." Xfinity Series veteran driver Justin Allgaier added: "It's great to know that we are going back to World Wide Technology Raceway with the NASCAR Xfinity Series. To be able to race so close to home is incredibly special to not only myself, but to my family, friends and to BRANDT Professional Agriculture. This place is right in our backyards and I can't wait to get there next year."
