Lambert Was Hospitalized After a Fall Last Year

At the time of that incident, Lambert’s rep, Lucas Confortini, shared that the actor tripped on stairs while entering a hotel. He sustained a back injury and was unable to attend SciFiWorld, a Comic-Con-type event in Sweden.
“As an actor, filming and promoting his films are an absolute priority and has always been,” a rep of Lambert’s explained at the time. “And while he has the highest respect for people organizing events and fans who attend; unfortunately this time he will not be able to attend the comic con.”
The actor seemingly recovered by doing physical therapy.
