On Monday, in a reference to the movie Child's Play, he tweeted: 'I haven't looked at my face yet but I feel like chucky,'

He also posted a selfie with his agent who came to see him in hospital along with the caption: 'My agent Dawn Landrum I love her! I haven't seen my face but she assured me I still look good.'

No charges were pursued against the driver of the SUV involved in the freak accident because Woolf was jaywalking at the time he was struck.
