While showing off a new hair cut, he said: 'New Hair! New Normal!
"Dear Souzles, forgive the radio silence!
"Three weeks ago I broke my leg falling off my bike.
"Some very, very kind people (the first of thousands of kind people who have gone out of their way to help me recently — you know who you are and I will never be able to repay you) got me to St Mary's Hospital Paddington, where I was whisked through the extraordinary A&E department by the gorgeous paramedics, doctors, nurses, domestic and administrative staff, all of whom made to feel so welcome and comfortable and safe.'
Sebastian shared a string of images from the hospital, including one of his leg up, and one holding up a smoothie while recovering.
He also shared snaps of friends and family who'd come to visit him, as well as photos of his leg all bandaged up.
Clearly seeing the bright side, he posted a photo from the pub in his hospital gown in a wheelchair with his broken leg being supported, while he drank a beer.
The actor continued to update his fans, writing: 'As it turned out, I had a tibial plateau fracture (more commonly known as @lime bike leg) and needed an operation.
"St Mary's is one of the best trauma centres on planet earth and so, naturally, there were lots of poor people with injuries far graver than mine queuing up for operations that needed doing quickly, which meant my mangled knee would have to wait a little bit before getting patched up.
Normal People sets pulses racing with steamy sex scene
"And so it was that I ended up spending the most wonderful, inspiring, insightful, love-filled fortnight on St Mary's Valentine Ellis and Zachary Cope wards, waiting for my surgery! As I say in my thank you card on slide 18, I have never been treated with such kindness, care, respect, sensitivity and love.
'Nor have I ever seen such professionalism and compassion shown so consistently by anyone to everyone, ever. During my two weeks with you I witnessed selflessness and charity and generosity of spirit the like of which one never sees these days. Behaviour rarer than magic.'
He ended his message by thanking the hospital staff again, for 'helping [him] crutch [his] way through this fascinating new chapter!'
Fans and friends were quick to comment, wishing the star a speedy recovery.
Sebastian has starred in many well-known shows, and first found fame as Matty Levan on Channel 4 cult classic teen series Skins.
He's landed roles in the likes of Plastic, alongside Brit actor turned Hollywood hunk Will Poulter and had a starring role alongside Elle Fanning and Nicholas Hoult in Channel 4 series The Great.
Other acting credits of Sebastian's include Normal People, and Netflix's The Life List.

'It was honestly the hardest few days of my life and I really don't say that lightly. but I'm so grateful for the care I received and for the amazing support from my Ol.

'It's hard on both of them, but especially challenging with Levi since he can't express what he's feeling. 'Thankfully, both kids are now back to full health and we're so grateful!!!

10 early signs of Parkinson's as Ah-ha star Morten Harket announces diagnosis
The neurodegenerative disease has an extensive list of over 40 symptoms, which often go unnoticed for some time before diagnosis. The lead singer of hit 1980s band A-ha, Morten Harket has been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. The Norwegian group informed fans of the news via an update on their website that said he had been "battling his own body". An interview with the 65-year-old was also posted on the band's website, where he revealed he had kept the diagnosis quiet for a period of time before making the announcement. He says he has come to terms with his Parkinson's diagnosis. In conversation with the band's biographer Jan Omdahl, he said: 'I've got no problem accepting the diagnosis. With time I've taken to heart my 94-year-old father's attitude to the way the organism gradually surrenders: 'I use whatever works.' 'Part of me wanted to reveal it. Like I said, acknowledging the diagnosis wasn't a problem for me; it's my need for peace and quiet to work that has been stopping me. I'm trying the best I can to prevent my entire system from going into decline. "It's a difficult balancing act between taking the medication and managing its side effects. There's so much to weigh up when you're emulating the masterful way the body handles every complex movement, or social matters and invitations, or day-to-day life in general.' But as the star makes headlines, questions are being raised on the complicated condition of Parkinson's, its causes, and its symptoms. With over 40 symptoms, the condition can manifest in a variety of ways, and many remain unaware of some of the lesser-known early signs of Parkinson's. So, here's everything you need to know about the neurodegenerative disease. What is Parkinson's and how common is it? Around 13,000 people in Scotland alone have a diagnosis of Parkinson's, which is the fastest-growing neurological condition in the world. Parkinson's develops when brain cells that produce dopamine, a neurotransmitter which plays a crucial role in motor control, stop working. As a progressive condition, Parkinson's can significantly impact quality of life and can reduce life expectancy. However, with treatment, the likelihood of it shortening a patient's lifespan can be reduced. What are the early symptoms of Parkinson's? As a degenerative disease, catching Parkinson's early can make all the difference in terms of treatment and maintaining a good quality of life. But as there are over 40 official symptoms, many early signs can be easily overlooked. Better known symptoms of the disease include tremors in the hands and pain in the body, but there are other signs of the condition that many remain unaware of. For example, changes in handwriting can indicate cognitive decline, as can diminished facial expressions, caused by slow or stiff facial muscles. This can cause friends and family to struggle to read the person's mood from their facial expressions, and is an early indicator that something is wrong. Depression and anxiety, while not exclusively linked to Parkinson's, are also early indicators of the condition that are easily brushed off. A change or loss to sense of smell is another lesser-known symptom of the disease that can manifest early. Here is a full list of ten early signs of Parkinson's to keep an eye out for, as shared by HCA Healthcare UK. 10 early signs of Parkinson's Pain Anxiety Trouble with balance Stiffness Losing your sense of smell Trouble with sleeping and fatigue Tremor Depression Smaller handwriting and slowness of movement Diminished facial expressions Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!
