10 Actors Who Got Severely Injured In Movies (But Just Ran With It)
7. Niclole Kidman Will Do Anything To Make A Fashion Statement (Moulin Rouge)
"If you like pain, try wearing a corset", as the old Pirates Of The Carribean quote goes.
Obviously Nicole Kidman was never in that film, but she might have wished someone had advised her against doing something similar whilst filming Moulin Rouge.
After injuring herself during filming falling off a trapeze and breaking two ribs, Kidman's injuries were so severe that some close-up shots of the actress had to be done whilst she was sat in a wheelchair on set, as the actress couldn't stay standing for prolonged takes.
But most squeamishly, Kidman opted to tackle wearing the rather constrictive of costume pieces despite the fact one of her ribs was still not fully healed at the time, but embarking on a somewhat obsessive quest to make her waistline as slim as possible she kept telling the costume department to tighten the corset more and more, aggravating the injury once again and causing her to miss two weeks of filming.
Some people will do anything to make a fashion statement.
