As a matter of fact, Halle’s been hurt during filming, numerous times in her illustrious career. She suffered a head injury on Catwoman, broke her foot while filming Cloud Atlas, broke her arm during Gothika, and she even nearly asphyxiated herself when she choked on a fig during Die Another Day. She’s got so many dangerous-filming stories to tell!
7. Joseph Gordon-Levitt
JGL has been in some awesome action movies but his gnarliest onset injury came while filming Premium Rush. As he was speeding through traffic on his bike, a cab ignored the barricade set up by the production staff and got into an accident with the young actor. Joseph sliced up his forearm pretty good after careening through the cab’s back window. Poor him!
8. Isla Fisher
In this anxiety-inducing scene from Now You See Me, Isla Fisher is supposed to appear like she’s struggling before freeing herself from a watery demise. However, during filming, she got stuck to the bottom of the tank and almost drowned for real. Luckily, she was able to surface in time to a round of applause. The crew just thought she was just a tremendous actress. This is not a fun situation to find yourself in.
9. Sylvester Stallone
Stubborn Stallone underwent multiple surgeries after The Expendables films. But we can’t really blame it all on old age. When he was younger, he shattered his ribs during a Rambo stunt.
10. Leonardo DiCaprio
Leonardo DiCaprio’s performance in Django: Unchained was more than phenomenal. Remember the scene in which Leo slams his hand on a table and cuts his hand up pretty good? That was not even in the script. He did this for real and delivered one of the more iconic scenes in the film.
