BREAKING: Josh Hartnett Involved in Shocking Car Crash in Canada!

In a shocking turn of events, Hollywood hunk Josh Hartnett was rushed to a Canadian hospital last week after a harrowing car crash left him and several others shaken but thankfully alive.

The Pearl Harbor star, 47, was a passenger in an SUV that was involved in a high-speed collision with a Royal Newfoundland Constabulary vehicle at around 1 a.m. local time on Thursday morning. According to eyewitnesses, the impact was severe, leaving both vehicles "significantly damaged" and Hartnett's driver with minor injuries.

Hartnett, who has been keeping busy with production on a new Netflix series (more on that later), was said to be returning home from set when the crash occurred. The actor's rep has not yet commented on his condition, but sources close to the star confirm that he is receiving treatment for minor injuries.

But here's the thing: Hartnett wasn't driving himself. He was a passenger in an SUV driven by a 59-year-old man whose identity has not been released. And while it's unclear what exactly happened during the crash, officials are urging witnesses and anyone with video footage to come forward with information.

The incident took place at the intersection of New Cove Road and Elizabeth Avenue in St. John's, Canada. Miraculously, both Hartnett and his driver, as well as a police officer who was hospitalized "as a precaution," are expected to make a full recovery.

So what about Hartnett's wife, Tamsin Egerton? The 36-year-old actress has been quiet on social media since the news broke, but sources close to the couple reveal that they're both shaken but grateful for the outpouring of support from fans and friends.

In fact, insiders claim that Hartnett and Egerton have been keeping a low profile lately as they focus on their three adorable kids. "They're just trying to keep things normal for the sake of their children," a friend spills to The Scholarly Note. "But let's be real, this is Josh Hartnett we're talking about – he's a Hollywood heartthrob with millions of fans around the world!"

And speaking of Hartnett's latest project, the actor has been working on a new Netflix series that's still untitled (but allegedly has a pretty juicy logline). According to IMDB, the show follows a group of characters as they face off against a mysterious sea creature terrorizing a remote town. The cast list is stacked with talent, including Mackenzie Davis and Charlie Heaton.

Here's what we know so far: Hartnett's character is a rugged fisherman fighting to protect his family, community, and way of life from the monstrous creature. Sounds like your average small-town drama, right? But insiders hint that there's more to it – much more.

"Josh has been pouring his heart and soul into this project," a source spills. "He's always been passionate about telling stories that resonate with audiences on a deeper level."

And as for Hartnett's personal life, the actor tied the knot with Egerton in 2022 after a decade-long courtship. "They kept it super low-key, but it was still an intimate affair with their closest friends and family," another insider reveals.
