The Greatest Showman star, Sam Humphries, is “fighting for his life” in hospital.

The actor played Charles Stratton in the 2017 hit movie musical.

Sam suffers with acrodysostosis, which is a genetic disorder that affects bone growth and also suffers from Crohn’s disease.

The condition is lifelong and can cause symptoms including weight loss, fatigue, stomach aches and cramps.

He is currently suffering with complications from the condition, and is preparing to undergo a “high-risk” surgery.

Sam’s family issued a statement to E! News.

“He is currently under the care of some of the best doctors in the world at Cedars Sinai and is undergoing high-risk corrective surgery. His family and friends are with him and they ask for privacy while Sam is treated and recovers.”

“They welcome everyone’s prayers and support at this time.”
