He didn’t get into the nitty-gritty of what caused it, but he mentioned these breathing problems had been dragging him down for a while.
A Silent Struggle Comes to Light
Stan’s post really opened our eyes. He’d been dealing with this for months, keeping it on the down-low. It was messing with his sleep, making it hard to breathe, and just throwing his whole vibe off.
Fans were floored by how tough he’s been, and they didn’t hold back in the comments, sending him so much love.
“I can’t wait to breathe easy again, to actually smell stuff,” he said. “It’s been forever since I could do that. And, oh man, I’m gonna sleep like a baby now.”
A Road to Recovery—and Gratitude
Good news is, Stan’s on the upswing. He gave a big thank-you to the close friends and family who were there for him through this rough patch.
He ended his post with that classic Stan positivity, letting us know he’s bouncing back quick. “I’m healing up fast,” he wrote. “Gonna be back to my full-on Krum energy soon!”
From Wizarding World to Wellness Advocate
Stan’s kept the Potter magic alive for fans, showing up at places like Swiss Comic Con and making those awesome Cameo videos that feel like a personal shoutout from Krum himself.
He’s also super into staying fit and healthy, and he’s even done some motivational speaking, sharing his story to lift others up.
For now, he’s focusing on getting better, but we’re all hyped to see him back out there, whether it’s at a con or something new.

Fans jumped on social media, pouring out their support:
