'The Princess Bride' actor Carrie Elwes recovers from a rattlesnake bite in Malibu
Malibu (CABC) — Actor Carrie Elwes, best known for his role in The Princess Bride, is recovering in good spirits after what many might consider a frightening moment.

The English actor said he was bitten by a rattlesnake in Malibu over the weekend. He posted a close-up of the bite on his finger on Twitter.

“Not by a ROUS but by a rattlesnake,” said the actor, referring to a rat-like creature from his famous movie. “Grateful to the staff of Malibu Urgent Care, LA County Fire Dept., staff and medical professionals at UCLAHealth for their superior care.”

Paramedics were dispatched to a home in the 23,000 block of Pacific Coast Highway just before 3 p.m. Saturday, the Los Angeles County Fire Department confirmed to Eyewitness News.

Elwes was sent to Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center after being bitten. The actor was reportedly doing yard work when he came across the snake.

In his tweet, Elwes said he is “recovering well”.
