Director Michael Mann was recently seen in Los Angeles on crutches, with his left foot in an orthopedic boot and cast, just days after accidentally shooting himself at a gun range. The 83-year-old filmmaker was photographed leaving a medical building on Tuesday, appearing to have injured his leg.
Mann, an experienced target shooter, was reportedly injured on Saturday around 4 p.m. The incident occurred at The Range LA, a members-only shooting club. According to a source cited by TMZ, Mann was attempting to holster his firearm when it accidentally discharged, striking him in the leg. Police confirmed the event as an accidental discharge during a training incident.
His publicist stated that Mann sustained a superficial injury to his leg and was treated and released. Mann was seen out on Tuesday wearing a black zip-up hoodie and white pants.
Mann is a celebrated director known for films such as "Heat" (1995), "Manhunter" (1986), "The Last of the Mohicans" (1992), "Ali" (2001), and "Collateral" (2004). He has received four Academy Award nominations. His most recent directorial effort was "Ferrari" in 2023. He is currently working on a prequel to "Heat," based on his and Meg Gardiner's best-selling novel "Heat 2."
