Mike Posner was rushed to hospital after getting bit by a rattlesnake, while on his trek across the US.

That is absolutely not ideal.

The I Took A Pill star revealed the news on Instagram, sharing a video of himself being wheeled on a gurney.

But not even a snake could slow the 31-year-old down, as flashed a thumbs-up for the camera from his hospital bed, like a total pro.

‘Whatup doe!!! Crazy day yesterday! I had just crushed 16 miles and was going for 8 more when I got bit by a baby rattlesnake,’ he told his 506k followers.

‘That venom is no joke! I got to the hospital and got the anti-venom in time. Shout outs to G and Mike from the chopper team and Bo and Cassie and Whitney (my nurses).

‘I’ll be here a few days and will not be able to walk for several weeks but enjoying the AC and the nice bed, haven’t had those in a while Hahahaha!

‘Can’t wait to get back on The Walk! KEEP GOING!!!!!!’

A string of his famous pals rushed to send their best wishes to the star, with Millie Bobby Brown commenting: What!!!! Get well soon, sending best wishes to you.’

Joe Jonas said: ‘Rest up bro. Glad you are ok.’

Diplo asked: ‘Damn bro where were you,’ while Jessie J branded him a ‘real life super hero’.

And we definitely agree.

Mike has been trekking across the US since April, in a bid to honour his late dad who died in 2017, after battling cancer.

He is also paying tribute to close friend Avicii, who passed away last year.

The Cooler Than Me star kicked off his walk on 15 April, in New Jersey, and will keep walking until he reaches California.

So far, he has notched up an impressive 1600 miles, and previously revealed he wants to be back in Venice Beach before Christmas.
