Sam Humphrey is going through a tough time — but thankfully he’s a tough guy.
The actor, who delighted audiences as Tom Thumb in last year’s The Greatest Showman, went into the hospital for “high-risk corrective surgery” on Thursday, according to his family.

In a statement to E! News, they explained:
“Sam has been suffering from complications due to Crohn’s disease, which is exasperated by Sam’s skeletal dysplasia and size. He is currently under the care of some of the best doctors in the world at Cedars Sinai and is undergoing high-risk corrective surgery. His family and friends are with him and they ask for privacy while Sam is treated and recovers. They welcome everyone’s prayers and support at this time.”
So scary!
Thankfully, they were quick to issue an update on the 24-year-old’s recovery, saying on Friday:
“Sam is an incredibly resilient and strong individual. His surgery went well and he is currently recovering and being monitored to make sure that there are no complications. He will require further treatment and rehabilitation over the coming weeks but he is under the care of some of the best physicians in the world at Cedars Sinai. His family thank everyone for their love, support, prayer and positive vibes. We will update everyone should there be any further developments.”
Whew!
