Actor Cary Elwes is on the mend after being airlifted due to suffering a horrific snake bite on his finger.
Entertainment Weekly reported that the "Twister" actor was airlifted to Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center and hospitalized Saturday after being bit by a rattlesnake while at his home in Malibu.
"The Princess Bride" actor posted on Twitter to share a picture of the very up-close and graphic hand injury.
