10 Actors Who Got Severely Injured In Movies (But Just Ran With It)

This particular injury almost had tragic consequences for the Hollywood mega-star as George Clooney's injury incurred on the set of Syriana was so bad the actor contemplated suicide in the years afterwards.

The particular injury came about when filming a torture scene in the 2005 thriller Syriana. Clooney cracked his head open and severely damaged his spine, but it took doctors years to identify what the real problem was after finally noticing fluid leaking from the actor's spine.

The actor had gone back to work after being initially patched up, but the pain was so terrible that Clooney said years later he had contemplated killing himself, and he still suffers from pain related to the injury even after correctional surgery.

It wasn't until successfully completing pain therapy classes years after Syriana's release that Clooney was finally able to mentally recover from the severity of his injury, but insists his body has never been the same again since.
