Clooney has admitted that he contemplated suicide after harshly damaging his back during the filming of this 2005 drama. He suffered frequent, brutal headaches and was hospitalised. Do you think the Oscar he won for his performance helped alleviate the pain?

Playing a Roman soldier in the middle of a Scottish winter is not much fun, so actor was glad of the opportunity to warm up by pouring a mix of boiling and river water down his suit.

A cast painted like a sock? Now there’s a novel way of covering up a foot injury. Chan used just such a trick during the filming of his 1995 action-comedy after breaking his ankle while jumping onto a hovercraft. You can see the trickery during the end credit outtakes.

The actress, who plays Thor’s warrior buddy Sif, fell down a metal staircase during shooting and could have been paralysed.

Sheen was second choice for the role of Captain Willard in this epic, replacing Harvey Keitel.

Stewart not only punched co-star Chris Hemsworth while filming this 2013 blockbuster, but she severely tore a ligament in her thumb getting into an on-camera scrape with one of the dwarves. Disney never had this problem.
