Brent had a pre-planned surgery for his shoulder yesterday and had a major complication. While the surgery was taking place, they accidentally punctured his lung. They had to insert a chest tube to keep it inflated. Today, they were able to remove the tube and hours later, Brent was released from the hospital.
And then from a totally reliable source which I refuse to reveal and don't bother asking me or PMing me, Brent lied about his age......when the cast was revealed, he was stated as being 28, and he's actually 30.

Freddy & Kendra 2.0?

He goes back in surgery next week to fix his shoulder since they messed up on Friday. He is recovering nicely from his punctured lung. Yup, he turns 31 on Nov 24th this year.

How can this be? Forgive my ignorance, but I cannot believe Brent lied to Production about his age and that it wasn’t caught. Granted, background checks are probably not as thorough as one might expect, however, if for no other reason than they are ferrying people in/out of foreign countries, I can’t imagine WRP doesn’t complete even the most basic screening. And come on, how hard is it to compare the age listed on the application to his Passport/DL/Birth Cert? If it wasn’t caught, someone needs to be fired immediately.
I don’t remember what happened with Freddy/Kendra, heck that was 10 seasons ago, but my question in relation to Brent is this…if he did lie, why? And in regards to WRP/CBS, assuming by the time they revealed Racer info they knew his true age, did they erroneously or intentionally misstate it? An error is one thing, but purposely misstating the age is another...what could their motivation be? I can think of a couple reasons, but really it’s just stupid and unnecessary.
