Michael McKean Is Already Joking About His Injuries

This is Spinal Tap star Michael McKean was the victim of a serious car accident on Tuesday when a vehicle struck him in Manhattan. He was hurt pretty bad, but his signature sense of humor has remained intact.

Sources are reporting that the actor is already joking about the accident and told the producer of his latest Broadway show:

"We always tell each other to break a leg in this business. I never thought it would happen to me this way!"

McKean suffered a broken leg and facial lacerations as a result of the accident, but we're glad the car didn't put a dent in his positive spirit. In response to all the kind words from his friends and followers on Twitter, the actor wrote:

"Lucky man: best wife, great kids, awesome docs and nurses, priceless friends; a little overwhelmed by the sweet tweets."

Way to look on the bright side, Michael! Get well soon!
