That is so scary, thank goodness he seems to be okay. Honestly kind of crazy he didn’t fracture anything at 85 with that big of a fall. He’s definitely still got some wizard powers.

People who were at the performance were saying that he was apparently wearing a fat suit which most likely cushioned his fall.

One of my biggest fears is falling and seriously injuring myself. I’m prone to falling and thankfully haven’t hurt myself to badly. I can literally just be walking in a straight line minding my business and just fall. I’m a very lucky person I’ve falling down a flight of stairs while holding a laundry basket and managed to get up and walk it off. Glad he’s ok
