A Scots Hollywood stuntman has thanked famous pals - including Russell Crowe - for saving his leg after they helped raise £25k for life-changing surgery.Charlie 'Chick' Allan, 61, has had a specialist procedure to remove two blood clots that formed behind his left knee after he suffered a horror freak fall at home.

The Denny-based actor, who starred in films like Gladiator and Robin Hood along with friend, Crowe, plummeted down a 15ft ditch on August 8 whilst doing DIY work on his home gym.Dad-of-one Charlie was diagnosed with arterial thrombosis - a ticking time bomb that could lead to him losing his leg, or potentially his life if the clot was to move to his heart and lungs.An overseas procedure not available on the NHS was going to cost an eye-watering £25,000.

An online fundraiser was launched to help raise the significant sum in November with Charlie facing a race against the clock to keep his limb.And the Go Fund Me was backed by A-Listers who donated thousands and used their platform to garner more support, with pal Crowe sending £5,000 towards Charlie's cause.The fundraiser also received donations from Outlander star Sam Heughan, and Robert and Terri Irwin, son and daughter-in-law of Australian wildlife expert Steve Irwin.On December 10, Charlie made the 18-hour journey to Leipzig, Germany where he had the clot removed.

Medics battled for three hours to tackle the delicate and complicated procedure.Now recovering at home with 18-year-old son Bran and wife Chara Gallos-Allan, Charlie had paid an emotional thanks to the industry giants who rushed to his aid.The stuntman told the Record: "I’m just blown away by the kindness shown to me.“I’ve worked for 30 years in the industry and made a lot of good friends along

“Comparison is the death of joy.”Mark Twain“When you are content to be simply yourself and don’t compare or compete, everybody will respect you.”Lao TzuOne of the most common and destructive daily habit is to constantly compare your life and yourself to other people and their lives.You compare cars, houses, jobs, shoes, money, relationships, social popularity and so on.And at the end of the day you pummel your self-esteem to the ground and you create a lot of negative feelings within. And perhaps also outside of yourself.So what can you do? How can you get a handle on this habit?Well, today I’d like to share 3 steps that have helped me to move away from this – it does take some time though so be patient with yourself – and towards a healthier outlook and view of myself and life.Step 1: Just realize that you can’t win if you compare yourself to others.
