The 58-year-old star was admitted on Sunday and kept overnight for a series of examinations, according to reporting by UNILAD
Actor Liev Schreiber is an American actor born in 1967 in San Francisco. You may know him from Scream 2, The Perfect Couple, or Party Girl.
But recently, a health scare prompted the actor to seek medical attention.
Liev Schreiber was taken to hospital over the weekend after developing a severe headache that his doctor believed required urgent medical testing.
Sudden symptoms
According to UNILAD, Schreiber’s representatives said in a statement, that he sought treatment “out of an abundance of caution” after the intense headache appeared.
No further details have been released about the underlying cause or the exact tests carried out during his stay.
His spokesperson said he has since been “cleared to return to work,” signalling a swift recovery following the brief hospital admission.
The incident is the latest in a series of alarming headache-related episodes the actor has experienced this year.
Not the first time
In April 2024, Schreiber described on Late Night With Seth Meyers how a powerful migraine left him temporarily unable to recall familiar details while performing on Broadway.
The episode struck in his dressing room, and he told the show he immediately sensed something was off: “I’m thinking, ‘This is not normal. I don’t feel okay.’”
The most frightening moment came when he realised he couldn’t remember the name of his co-star, Amy Ryan, prompting him to fear he was having a stroke.
After an MRI and a neurological consultation, doctors confirmed there was no brain bleed, instead diagnosing transient global amnesia.
Understanding the condition
Schreiber told Meyers that specialists reassured him his brain looked “perfectly fine.”
Transient global amnesia is a rare, short-lived condition marked by sudden memory loss and confusion, typically lasting less than 24 hours.
Schreiber’s openness about the earlier episode placed him among the few public figures to publicly discuss the condition.
Back to work
Schreiber’s latest hospital visit appears unrelated to his previous amnesia diagnosis, and his team says he has now resumed work.
No additional medical updates have been issued, and it remains unclear whether doctors identified a cause for Sunday’s symptoms.
