“Riverdale” star KJ Apa couldn’t hold back his tears after puncturing his eye.

“A shard of metal got stuck in my eyeball,” he captioned the video posted to Instagram on Monday.

The 23-year-old actor was recorded removing the sharp fragment from his eye with a Q-tip. After being told he had successfully pulled the piece of metal out, he told his friends he believed something was still in his eye.

A friend then assured Apa that the metal was gone and there was just a hole punctured in his eye.

“That’s just a hole?” he asks in total shock, before laughing once and then immediately breaking down in tears. Seconds later, the video cuts out.

Soon after, Apa updated fans with an Instagram Story.

“Quick update, the eye is good. I’m seeing a doctor tomorrow, my appointment’s at 8 o’clock,” he said. “I just want to say thanks for all the support. I appreciate it a lot. My eye’s fine, but there could be some more metal shards in there rusting away in my eyeball, so, I just wanted to say a quick thank you.”

It’s unclear how the metal shard found its way into Apa’s eye.
