Danny Pintauro is getting brutally honest about life after child stardom.
In a candid Instagram post, Pintauro shared a photo of himself sitting behind the wheel with a car full of deliveries.
"Working hard while 'not working.' The entertainment business has been soooo slow, so I've been doing what a lot of people do - figuring it out, showing up, and taking the work that's there while I keep building the work I really want. 38 packages today! There's no shame in staying in motion," Pintauro captioned the post.
His candid post comes after a frightening health scare that nearly turned deadly.
Sharing a video slideshow on Instagram, the actor detailed how a bike lane he was riding in was "suddenly blocked with cones," leading to a serious crash.
His husband, Wil Tabares, drove him to the hospital, where doctors discovered the accident had caused a tear in his stomach lining - a life-threatening injury.
According to Pintauro, the damage triggered "an infection in my bloodstream," while "air and stomach acid, etc, were escaping into my abdomen."
Calling it "the most excruciating pain I've ever felt in my whole life," he revealed the diagnosis led to "emergency surgery last night to repair the tear."
"If I had waited any longer, I could have died," Pintauro shared at the time, adding that listening to his body ultimately saved his life. He said it "was the one who told me something was absolutely wrong."
A tourist from New Zealand allegedly jumped into Rome's iconic Trevi Fountain, then began swimming - drawing widespread backlash and a reported fine of almost $600.
