10 Actors Who Got Severely Injured In Movies (But Just Ran With It)
4. Jeremy Renner Takes Playing A Kid's Game Too Seriously (Tag)
Just a few days into filming the 2017 comedy film Tag, Jeremy Renner wound up in hospital after a stunt he performed went ever so slightly wrong.
By ever so slightly wrong we mean Renner fell 20 feet and fractured his right elbow and left wrist and had to be whisked off to the hospital in the aftermath. You would think that injuries to both arms would be enough to keep an actor out of work for at least a couple of weeks, right?
The thing is though, before going to hospital Renner went back for a second bite of the proverbial cherry and performed the stunt again, despite the relative seriousness of his injuries, and even after he was patched up he still went back to filming the rest of the movie the next day.
Renner was so insistent on performing his own stunts afterwards that his casts on both arms had to be digitally removed in post-production.
We all know a person who used to take playing tag this seriously I'm sure.
