Illusion of Deception is a beautiful film with strong effects. However, one of them almost became the last in the life of actress Isla Fisher.

Shooting the thriller “Siriana” cost the actor dearly. First, at the request of director Stephen Gagan, he had to gain 10 kilograms. Second, Clooney unsuccessfully fell on the back of a chair and injured his back. But the most important injury was associated with a blow to the head.

Did you know that most of the close-ups of the Moulin Rouge actress were filmed while she was in a wheelchair? The actress had to endure several painful moments at once on the set.

“I actually enjoyed yelling at people during the shoot. But on the set of Snow White and the Huntsman, I did it so often that I tore the abdominal muscle, which I didn’t know about before,” Charlize joked during an interview with American MTV.

On the set of the thriller Seven, Brad Pitt unknowingly improvised at the cost of his own health. His detective character was supposed to be injured during the chase. And received.

Pitt returned to the scene with a bandaged hand, and the writers had to figure out how the investigator got this injury.

Yes, we mean it. During the filming of the historical drama The Eagle of the Ninth Legion, the actor regularly doused himself with warm water so as not to freeze when diving into the water in the cold air. Once, an assistant forgot to dilute the boiling water and doused Tatum with hot water, which immediately ran under the actor’s armor. Channing didn’t have time to quickly get rid of the complicated suit, and the water burned the poor guy’s most painful place. As the victim later admitted, the skin even peeled off his burned penis.

Halle Berry is the most injured poor thing in the Hollywood Hills.

Holly also broke her leg on the set of the fantasy drama Cloud Atlas.
