Hoffman's mystery finger injury
DUSTIN HOFFMAN has injured his finger in a mystery accident - which he jokingly blames on a fight with an elderly stalker.
The legendary actor is sporting a bandage and a small splint on the third finger of his left hand.
He was left in agony when tendons on the digit were ripped from the bone - but Hoffman remains coy about the cause of the injury.
He says, "You have the exterior tendon that's attached to the bone, and my tendon came off the bone. So I have to wear this (bandage) for the next eight weeks.
"I got it in a fight. It was a female! She was a stalker - she was about 82 but she had been following me around for about forty years!"
