MARIO LOPEZ SAYS 'SAVED BY THE BELL' MULLETT MAY RETURN WITH SERIES REBOOT
On Thursday, the "Saved by the Bell" alum explained what happened to his followers in an Instagram post.
"Evidently, I’m not 25yrs old anymore... Tore my biceps sparring. Might have to take it down a notch. Surgery was a success. Thank you Dr. Itamura!" he wrote.
Earlier this week, it was revealed that Lopez was set to star in a "Saved by the Bell" revival for NBC's new streaming platform, Peacock.
