Next time you wash your shoes, please make sure you don’t scrub the soles so hard until they lose their grip.
Otherwise, you may be left traumatised like Taiwanese actor Norman Chen Guan Lin (陳冠霖), 49.
In a recent episode of Taiwanese variety show Find Your Doctor, Norman shared how he was almost disfigured after a fall.
According to the actor, his wife Hsieh Hsin-Yi, who’s not in showbiz, got him a pair of white rubber shoes, which he wore very often. Whenever his shoes got dirty, he would scrub them clean.
What Norman didn’t expect was how the soles of his shoes would end up losing their grip ‘cos of all that scrubbing.
The actor recalled returning home on Christmas Eve one year when he slipped and slammed into a pillar in his apartment building. He then lost his balance and fell face first onto the ground.
Not only did Norman break a few flower pots, he realised that his glasses were broken and part of it had pierced his forehead.
“When I pulled the broken part out, blood was squirting and I knew I was in trouble. Parts of my flesh were gone and a piece of cartilage was missing from my nose,” he said in graphic detail.
Thankfully, after lots of treatment, the actor’s wounds are almost completely healed.
Norman also added that he made the exact same pair of glasses to wear following the incident though no word on whether he bought new shoes.
