Dekker broke his nose during a photo shoot for photographer Tyler Shields' book The Dirty Side of Glamour in February 2009. Tyler punched and beat Dekker with a police baton during the gritty shoot. Still, Tyler insists that Dekker enjoyed himself, "Even though he broke his nose (he had broken it before), he kind of liked it. He showed no pain, and even smiled when he saw himself in the mirror."Just Jared: Thomas Dekker Breaks Nose... (February 10, 2009)
