One Tree Hill star Chad Michael Murray shared a harrowing story about a near-death experience when he was a teenager.

The actor, now 43, said that back when he was 15 years old, he lost '50 percent' of the blood in his body and was 'on [his] deathbed.'

On Friday's episode of the Great Company podcast, he told host Jamie Laing that he was in the hospital for two and a half months. 

He explained that his intestines became twisted, and he was suffering from internal bleeding.

He said he didn't remember much from that experience as he was going 'in and out of consciousness' and had to undergo emergency surgery multiple times.

This comes after Murray opened up about his mental health and revealed he was battling agoraphobia amid his One Tree Hill success when he was in his early 20s.

And at one point during his near-death, teenage experience, the Freakier Friday star said that he saw his father talking to a priest about last rites at one point before his nurse gave him a blood transfusion to save his life. 

He explained that his organs shut down because the blood coagulated around them and he had to undergo a second surgery to 'clean up' around them.

The actor added that during those weeks in the hospital, his weight had dropped from 180 to a 118 pounds. 

He also recalled the names of the nurses who saved his life — Sandy, who gave him a blood transfusion, and Alana, who was a model.

Murray said that the latter nurse told him to become a model first to 'segue' into his acting dreams  — and even followed through on her promise to introduce him to a modeling company when he got out of the hospital.

About the conversation that got him into Hollywood, he recalled: 'Alana says to me, "Oh gosh, you should model." I was like, "I don't want to model. I want to be an actor. Like, I love film and television. I want to give this gift to other people."

'And she's like, "Well, you can segue from modeling into acting. Look, when you get out, I'm hooking you up with this modeling company I know." And she meant it.'

A few years after making his recovery, he made his big break and started landing major roles in hit teen dramas.

Murray is known for playing the lead role of Lucas Scott in the CW teen drama series from 2003 to 2009 and again reprising his role in 2012. 

He also starred opposite Lindsay Lohan in Freaky Friday in 2003 and in the recently released sequel Freakier Friday. 

He is also known for playing the love interest of Hilary Duff's character in the 2004 romantic comedy A Cinderella Story. 

The actor is also known for making appearances on Gilmore Girls, Dawson's Creek and Riverdale. 

On the podcast, Murray also said that he is focused on clean living — avoiding alcohol and eating healthy — nowadays to stay healthy. 

He is currently on a promo tour alongside co-stars Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis as they promote Freakier Friday.
