Chad Michael Murray, best known for his role in One Tree Hill, has a lesser-known story behind his rugged good looks. When he was 18, he was attacked by three men at a Burger King restaurant, leaving his nose severely damaged. He underwent emergency surgery at Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre in Los Angeles to reset his nose.
In a 2004 interview with Entertainment Weekly, Murray addressed rumours that he had a nose job, saying: 'I got jumped in a Burger King when I was 18 and had my nose put on the other side of my face. It was three guys - what the hell was I supposed to do? The doctors didn’t even bother running X-rays. They just reset it. But it wasn’t a nose job - I hate the fact that people say it was a nose job!'
The story has recently resurfaced online, with many fans expressing shock. One Reddit user wrote: 'He got jumped at burger king and his nose was broken in the process. he had to get his nose surgically reset. imagine getting jumped and you come out looking better lol.' Another commented: 'His nose looked better before, but the new one made his face more distinct.'
Despite positive comments about his appearance, Murray admitted to Newsweek last year that he has insecurities, particularly about his smile and nose. He said: 'I don't like my smile. I can't stand my smile, so I'm not going to smile. I don't want to show my teeth because I'm uncomfortable about it. I don't like my nose because it's not my nose.'
This is not the only health battle Murray has faced. At age 15, he spent over two months in hospital after losing 50 percent of his blood due to twisted intestines and internal bleeding. He underwent multiple emergency surgeries and was on his 'deathbed', as he revealed on Jamie Laing's podcast, Great Company.
