Cary Elwes encountered a scary situation when he was bitten by a rattlesnake while working in his yard.

The “Princess Bride” actor, 59, was nipped by his Malibu home on Saturday and airlifted to Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, according to TMZ.

The outlet reported that while it’s unknown where on his body he was struck, the English actor required rapid medical attention — and others around him feared it was a life-threatening attack.

This is what happens when you go in the Fire Swamp.

Completely dead or mostly dead?

Rattlesnakes...I don’t believe they exist.

[who_would_fardels_bear]

This is inconceivable... but I don’t know if I’m using that word right.

Rattlesnakes Of Unusual Size?

“......scary rattlesnake bite”

I can’t imagine a rattlesnake bite that’s NOT scary.

That rattle gets to the bones.

I don't know if I’m using that word right

I do not think it means what you think it means

Just to monitor this thread.

Snakes, sharks and such don’t “attack”.

This is the most misused term from the MSM and others who do not understand nature.

It is not as simple as it looks

Very enjoyable movie. Thought he was great!

But what happened? Never heard of the dude before Princess Bride and afterward it seemed he fell off the earth. Have no idea what else he did - and before you list off film credits, I didn’t go see his HS rendition of Peter Pan either. He’s a One Hit Wonder.

If only he wore a mask this wouldn’t have happened.

Er, wait.

[GOYAKLA]

LOL! Got it.

... and others around him feared it was a life-threatening attack.

I'm sure they would have feared that if a garter snake bit him. People are dingbats about snakes.

Best wishes for a full recovery.

[AAABEST]

lmfao! - that old joke is the very FIRST thought I had when they wouldn’t disclose the bite location.

[nickcarraway]

Supposedly bites from the younger ones are worse, since they haven’t learned to control their venom.

Didn’t he play in Robin Hood: Men in Tights?

Looks like the Dread Pirate Roberts got the last laugh after all! “He’ll be dead by morning!”
