Veteran actor Kirk Douglas is hobbling around his Beverly Hills home after injuring his foot in a fall.

The 92-year-old star recently took a tumble at his California mansion but refused to see a doctor until the following day.

And after consulting medics, Douglas discovered he had broken a bone in his foot.

The elderly actor has now been fitted with a plaster cast and been advised to rest for four weeks, but he insists the accident wasn't as serious as it sounds.

I was surprised to learn that I broke a bone in my foot and now I have to wear a heavy boot for a month!

He writes on his MySpace.com blog, "I must be clumsy. I was sitting on a chair dictating to my assistant Grace, I got up out of the chair, stumbled and fell against the wall. My foot was painful but I thought it wouldgo away.

"The next day it got worse and my wife made me see a doctor. I was surprised to learn that I broke a bone in my foot and now I have to wear a heavy boot for a month!"
