Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Google+ Neil Patrick Harris (46) had to undergo surgery on Tuesday after he landed with his hand on a sea urchin two months ago. The How I Met Your Mother actor shared a photo of himself in a hospital bed on Instagram. “I was able to remove most of the spines myself, but two refused to let go and one got infected” 46-year-old Neil lost his balance while climbing a rock in Croatia and grabbed hold of a sea urchin. “I was able to remove most of the spines myself, but two refused to let go and one got infected. Then it turned out that it had also pierced a tendon,” wrote the actor. The spines have been successfully removed and Neil must now keep his hand up splinted for some time. However, the actor would still order sea urchin in a restaurant. “Uni is still delicious.”
