True Blood star Stephen Moyer is walking with a cane after suffering a painful knee injury.

The star tore a tissue in his leg earlier this month while playing with his two children, Billy and Lilac.

Moyer had to walk with the stick while picking up his Spike Scream Award for Best Horror Actor on Saturday - but he admits he doesn't mind using it.

He says, "I'd like to say it was some kind of thrusting, sexy injury. But it really isn't."

And although the actor is "feeling great," he says, "(My doctors) told me I wasn't allowed to not use the cane. So I thought if I'm going to have it I may as well use it at the Spike Awards. I might just keep it forever."
