Chevy Chase’s Black Eye Steals the Spotlight in Sweet Family Photo

Chevy Chase’s latest Instagram post has fans doing a double-take, and it’s not because of the adorable moment he shared with his granddaughter. The comedy legend, best known for his Saturday Night Live days, sported a noticeable black eye in the photo, sparking concern and plenty of speculation in the comments.

The photo shows a smiling Chevy holding his young granddaughter, but it didn’t take long for fans to shift their focus to his visible injury. While Chase seemed unfazed, the comment section was filled with worried followers asking what happened. Some even likened his bruise to Jay Leno’s recent accident, adding a layer of curiosity to the situation.

In true Chevy Chase fashion, his rep offered a lighthearted explanation when reached by TMZ. “He does not like to brag, but he fights crime late at night. You can thank him later,” the rep joked.

On a more serious note, the rep assured fans that the 80-year-old star is fine, clarifying that the black eye resulted from a minor mishap. “He just bumped his head in his hotel room rushing for a meeting,” they explained.

Although Chase has yet to address the incident himself, the update seems to have put fans at ease. Many were quick to pivot back to the sweetness of the family moment, praising Chevy as “grandpa goals” and applauding his evident joy in spending time with his granddaughter.

With the holidays right around the corner, fans are hoping the bruise will be gone soon—but they’re still loving the heartwarming glimpse into Chase’s family life.
