AceShowbiz - "Hellboy" star Ron Perlman is limping around Hollywood after ripping his meniscus on the set of Ryan Gosling's new film "Drive". The injury-prone star fears he'll need surgery after a wave blindsided him while he was filming a scene at the beach in Santa Monica, California - and left him with a shattered kneecap.

He tells WENN, "It's hard to walk on it. I think I'm gonna need surgery; there's some structural damage in there. We shot the scene during high tide at 3.30 in the morning and my back was to the ocean." Now Perlman, 60, fears his latest onset injury, combined with all the others he's experienced will leave him limping to his grave: "When I'm 80 I'm gonna be a mess, so hopefully I'm not gonna make it to 80.
