The 39-year-old went on to explain that he’s been suffering from vertigo for the last couple of days. He added that despite his struggles, he was able to make it through his last show and later underwent a couple of tests. “Again, we’re on the bus. So, I guess that kind of wants that little crystal in your equilibrium,” he shared.
The Emmy nominee explained, “I mean, again, I’m learning a lot. Once it goes out, it’s like, it’s really hard to get it back in. I’m just spinning everywhere. And so on the bus, when it’s moving, I woke up, and I just couldn’t get myself together.”
The dancer concluded, “So, hopefully, tomorrow’s a day off. I’ll be back on Tuesday. Love you. Thank you.” The video ended with another short clip of him, with the on-screen text, “Blood work done. Vitals Checked. See you soon.” The post has garnered a lot of support and well-wishes from his co-stars and followers.
