"If I was there, on my own, that would've been a horrible way to die," he said. "And surely, I would've. Surely. But I wasn't alone — [I was with] my nephew. Sweet Alex. And the rest of the cavalry came."
Speaking about his recovery, the star added: "I've lost a lot of flesh and bone in this experience, but I've been refuelled and refilled with love and titanium."
