Tom Felton says he’s ‘on the mend’ after golf course collapse
Tom Felton has updated concerned fans worried about his health following the “Harry Potter” star’s collapse while participating in a celebrity golf tournament.
In a new video uploaded to Instagram, Felton, 34, is seen in a cheery mood, playing the guitar while telling followers that he’s “on the mend” following the incident.
“Just wanted to say a huge thank you for all the lovely well wishes as of recent,” he said in the clip. “Yeah, it was a bit of a scary episode, really.”
The actor worried fans Thursday after photos obtained by Page Six showed him on the ground at the Whistling Straits golf course in Kohler, Wis., surrounded by a group of people.
He was escorted off the course in a cart, where he appeared to lie down on a stretcher while still conscious.

“I’m on the mend,” he continued. “People have been looking, taking really good care of me, so thank you very much for messages of ‘get well soon,’ because I am on the mend, officially.”
He then broke out into a song telling fans, “don’t you worry, Tom will be doing fine.”
Before Felton’s official update, a friend of the star relayed the message to fans, with pal Derek Pitts posting Friday, “He’s okay ❤️ speedy recovery brother.”
We’re told Felton collapsed on the 18th hole of the celebrity tournament. The actor was joined at the event by a number of other big names, including Mandy Rose, Toni Kukoč, Mike Eruzione, Stephanie Szostak, A.J. Hawk, Dan Jansen, Kelly Slater and Sasha Vujačić.
