Tarzan actor Christopher Lambert, 67, is receiving physical therapy after a recent fall down the stairs.

The Highlander alum, was forced to pull out of Swedish sci-fi convention SciFi World abruptly, as his reps confirmed to TMZ.

The incident occurred a few months ago while he was staying in a hotel and he is now recovering from a back injury which requires physical therapy ahead of his role in Tulipomania.

‘As an actor, filming and promoting his films are an absolute priority and has always been, 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 reps cleared up the record after the convention claimed on their Facebook page that he had a ‘serious accident on Monday.’

They also claimed he wasn’t ‘allowed to travel or move for one month according to his doctor’ and sent him well wishes for a speedy recovery.
