Max Page, who won America’s heart last year as the adorable wannabe Darth Vader in a Super Bowl commercial, will undergo open heart surgery on Thursday.

As Gossip Cop previously reported, the seven-year-old suffers from a heart defect that has forced him to have several operations already.

Page, who currently appears on “The Young and the Restless,” will have one of his pulmonary valves replaced, and a hole in his heart will also be repaired.

The young actor will be in the hospital for about five says, a CBS spokesperson tells the Associated Press.

The rep adds that Page, who realizes that not having the surgery isn’t an option, has decided he “might as well go through it with a good attitude.”

Gossip Cop wishes Page a speedy recovery!
