Samuel Johnson will spend weeks in hospital after being hit by a car and suffering head injuries last weekend.
The actor's older sister Hilde Hinton shared the update in a post to Facebook on Friday, revealing she had been to visit the 43-year-old as he recovers.
'I got to see Sam today! All the phone calls in the world aren't the same as being able to touch his actual face. I couldn't help it, I cried,' she wrote on the official page of their charity, Love My Sister.
