10 Actors Who Got Severely Injured In Movies (But Just Ran With It)
2. Jim Caviezel Gets Struck By Lightning... But Shrugs It Off (The Passion Of The Christ)
Jim Caviezel's onset injury in this movie really takes the cake for being one of the most insane injuries ever picked up by an actor during filming, some might say even on a biblical level.
Whilst filming for Mel Gibson's infamous Passion Of The Christ, actor Jim Caviezel who played the role of Jesus Christ was beset by all kinds of calamity, suffering from both Pneumonia AND Hyperthermia thanks to filming the climactic crucifixion scenes, as well as dislocating his shoulder under the strain of carrying said cross during filming.
But apparently Caviezel has some kind of guardian angel looking out for him, as the actor was struck by lightning mere minutes after the film's assistant director was hit twice.
Getting blasted from the heavens is obviously no joke, but Caviezel got back up without so much as a scratch and carried on filming, but with a sequel to the Passion in the works lets hope Caviezel's luck or divine protection can see him through another film portraying Christ.
