Alex O'Loughlin Takes Break From Hawaii Five-0
Alex O'Loughlin will be taking a leave of absence from Hawaii Five-0 to focus on healing from a shoulder injury. He will be seeking supervised treatment for prescription pain medication. Good for him for doing this the healthy way before it can become a problem! Love him. Get better soon!
“Alex is taking a short break from Hawaii Five-0,” the actor’s rep said in a statement, “to receive supervised treatment for prescription pain medication due to a recent shoulder injury.”The show, which is currently shooting Episode 20, will continue production as planned. And, even though there is no word yet as to how the absence of the leading man’s Detective Steve McGarrett will be explained, the series is expected to complete its Season 2 order.
“We respect and support Alex’s decision,” added CBS Studios. “Everyone at CBS Television Studios and Hawaii Five-0 wishes him well, and we look forward to his return.”
