Many actors during filming was seriously injured, but they pay a lot of money

Many people believe that the profession of an actor is quite easy. They go to work, they do the makeup and get paid a lot of money for a few months.

However, there is a flip side to this work, which many people do not think. Many actors were injured and even killed during the shooting period. Of course, the risk is higher when the actor wants to perform all the stunts himself.

At the same time, some actors almost died during the filming, not even playing any tricks.

2. Jackie Chan “Armour Of God”

Jackie Chan starred in the movie “Armour of God” in Yugoslavia when he fell while performing a stunt jump, which was not too heavy for him (the actor performs all of the trick itself).

Fortunately, she reached for the buttons of quick release and managed to escape.

5. Viggo Mortensen “Lord of the rings”
