Man cut in half by forklift shares which Hollywood actor he wants to play him (2025)

At 18, Loren Schauers was horrifically sliced in two when a forklift he was driving fell off a bridge and landed on him - he's now revealed the Hollywood actor to play him in his biopic

The man who tragically lost the lower half of his body in a devastating workplace accident has revealed there's only one actor he can envision portraying him on the big screen.

Back in 2019, at just 18 years old, Loren Schauers suffered catastrophic injuries when the forklift he was operating toppled off a bridge and crushed him from a height of 50 feet. He was rushed to a hospital in Montana, USA, and miraculously survived, thanks to the heroic efforts of medical professionals, reports the Daily Star.

Since that harrowing day, Loren, now 23, with unwavering bravery and strength, has been sharing his recovery process alongside his partner Sabia, 25, captivating thousands of fans online. In their latest YouTube episode, the inspiring pair interacted with their army of fans, answering questions that spanned an array of topics, including the idea of a Hollywood depiction of their astounding story.

While discussing potential actors for their biopic during the account of Loren's life-altering journey, Sabia confessed she hadn't pondered over it before. Loren, on the other hand, had his answer locked and loaded straight away.

He enthusiastically responded: "I don't know someone like Tom Holland that would be the only person I need." While Sabia wistfully remarked: "I don't know, I've never really put much thought into that. Whoever."

Loren chimed in with a lively suggestion: "It would be cool if they just made you Zendaya. Tom Holland and Zendaya... I mean they're a power couple let's be honest."

Another question was raised, but it seemed to touch a nerve with Loren as he politely declined to delve into it too deeply.

"Do I get flashbacks from the accident?" He responded, "No no I don't get flashbacks. I don't really want to actually comment on a lot of that right now because yeah I don't know if I should be commenting on that stuff.

When asked about adding to their existing tattoos, Loren said there's one area on his body he's not sure a tattooist could work on. He has revealed to fans how he plans on building his body art, which currently extends down his one full arm and chest.

He explained his plans to pay tribute to four family surnames he's connected with by getting them tattooed in various places. "I want to get all four of them," he said, while pointing to either side of his neck. Loren added: "Down one, one and then the other two."

However, his physical condition might pose a challenge for a tattoo artist. Loren continued: "I don't I'm not sure if I want to do down my spine like or across my shoulders or what I don't know if i even can do it across my shoulder blades because of what I've already done on my left shoulder. I don't know if it would look all right or if I could even get it on there.

"I don't know what space i have left on this back left shoulder to be honest um but i do want to get um uh some sort of tattoo down my spine that we end up working off of to create a back piece."
