When soap opera stars step away from their on-screen drama, it's often to handle personal challenges that reveal their true strength. For Dan Feuerriegel, known for his portrayal of EJ DiMera on Days of Our Lives, a shocking health update had fans on the edge of their seats. The actor recently underwent a pacemaker procedure, but what followed was an inspiring journey of resilience, humor, and a little bit of Wolverine-like toughness. What happened behind the scenes, and what’s next for the star? Let's dive into this real-life saga.
In an unexpected Instagram post that caught fans by surprise, Dan Feuerriegel revealed he had surgery to have a pacemaker installed. It wasn’t just any ordinary health procedure—Feuerriegel shared how, despite being given an overwhelming amount of sedatives, he was still awake during the operation.
"They gave me enough sedative to take down a horse (docs words, not mine) and I still woke up during the procedure," he wrote with his usual humor. "I am secretly Wolverine. Felt them stitching me up. Ouchie. ☠️"
While his post was filled with his signature wit, it also gave fans a glimpse into a tougher side of the actor. Feuerriegel has had a pacemaker since he was 17, and undergoing this surgery again was no small feat.
