Handled it Like a Westley

Carey Elwes just got bitten by a Rattlesnake, but he's going to be OK, and even found time to make a Princess Bride reference: 

Cary Elwes is on the mend after a scary incident landed him in the hospital over the weekend.

The 59-year-old actor posted a close-up of his hand — in which one of his fingers and fingernails appears swollen and blue — to Instagram Monday.

Seeming to be in good spirits despite his injury, Elwes began his caption with a nod to his classic 1987 movie The Princess Bride: "Bit not by a ROUS but a rattlesnake."

"Grateful to the staff of Malibu Urgent Care, LA County Fire Dept. and the staff and medical professionals at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center for their great care," he added. "Am recovering well thanks to all these wonderful folks.

That is a pretty Westley way of handling it, because it probably hurts like a mother f%$#er.

No indications that he went Dread Pirate Roberts on the the snake.
