Aaron Sorkin 'broke nose while writing script'

Aaron Sorkin has revealed that he broke his nose while writing.

The Social Network scribe confessed that he accidentally head-butted himself while working on some dialogue, the Los Angeles Times reports.

"I wish I could say I was in a bar fight," Sorkin said. "but I broke my nose writing."

Sorkin's HBO pilot More As This Story Develops was recently taken to series by the network.

In June, it was reported that the 50-year-old had teamed up with Office star John Krasinski for a mini-series about Hollywood's Chateau Marmont.

Sorkin has previously described More As This Story Develops as "aspirational" and "wish-fulfilment".
