Jon Bernthal lost out on starring alongside Ryan Gosling in 'First Man' after his daughter went into a coma.
The 'Baby Driver' actor was set to play astronaut Dave Scott alongside the 38-year-old star, who took on the role of Neil Armstrong in the retelling of the 1969 Apollo 11 mission to the moon, but he was forced to rush to 2-year-old Adeline's beside after she became extremely poorly with the viral infection encephalitis, a rare condition that causes inflammation of the brain, which caused his little girl to suffer seizures.
Thankfully Adeline recovered from the potentially life-threatening virus, but after spending three days in a coma, she didn't recognise who her family was when she woke up for the first time.
The 42-year-old star wouldn't have been able to get through the scary ordeal without the support of his wife Erin Angle - with whom he also has sons Henry, 7, and 5-year-old Billy - and said his spouse, who is a nurse herself, showed such "courage" and "beauty" in such a terrifying time for their family.
He told Men's Health magazine: "(She was) pouring love into our daughter every step of the way.
