The 72-year-old actor Mark Hamill is perfectly fine and has not suffered from any diseases as of this writing.
Hamill once had a fatal car accident on January 11, 1977, in California, though.
After the car accident, he had a slight change in his facial features that almost drowned his acting career.
His nose was severely broken, and also fractured his cheekbone. For his reconstructive surgery, pieces of cartilage from his nose were used.
Though his appearance after the accident was not drastic, he had a remarkable scar that ran from beneath his right nostril to the right corner of his upper lip.
Also, his nose was a bit misshapen and broader than it was in his prior movie.
In an interview with Gossip Magazine, Hamil said,
“I was way out in the sticks somewhere and there were no cars and no traffic, thank God. I was going about 65-70 mph… I was speeding, going too fast… and what happened, I think, was that I tried to negotiate an off-ramp and lost control, tumbled over, and went off the road.”
