10 Exact Moments Actors Thought They Were Finished
2. Ryan Reynolds Thought He Was Done After Injuring Denzel In Safe House
He may be gearing up to bring the third Deadpool entry into existence opposite the un-retired Hugh Jackman's Wolverine in the not too distant future, but there was a pretty alarming moment there when Ryan Reynolds genuinely thought he'd head-butted away his chances of ever having a successful career in the business.
Jumping back to that time when Reynolds was filming the 2012 action thriller Safe House opposite Denzel Washington, one particular stunt involving the two wrestling in a moving vehicle soon led to Ryan's head colliding with the legendary thespian's.
In that moment, after connecting with Washington's eye, the star admitted to David Letterman (via Insider) that he thought he was about to be "sent home via crematorium". And not only that, the actor also confessed to feeling that both his career and "actual pulse" were about to cease.
Being the pro he is, though, Washington laughed off the accident and the pair attempted the sequence once more from the other side to disguise the swelling appearing around his injured eye. But unfortunately for Reynolds, the same thing only went and happened again, this time to the other eye.
And on top of Washington soon resembling a rather sore "Christmas ornament", the eventual Merc with a Mouth quite rightly felt like he "wanted to die" there and then.
