His back may be all bent out of shape, but soap opera legend ANTHONY GEARY proved that his heart’s still in the right place!

The iconic star, who’s played character Luke Spencer on “General Hospital” for a whopping 37 years, was catching a flight from LAX, says My SpyWitness, when an excited female fan suddenly rushed up screaming, “It’s LUKE” … and tried to wrap him in a bear hug!

Recoiling, Geary barked: “Ma’am, don’t touch me!”

After two major surgeries for a balky back, and months of grueling therapy, the star’s still in agony – but watching the mortified woman slink off, he melted!

Waving her over, he explained: “I had back surgery, and can barely stand to have anyone touch me. But if it means that much to you … LET ME HAVE IT!”

And as the teary lady hugged Geary oh-so-tenderly, he looked a bit bright-eyed himself! AAaawwww!
