10 Recent Movie Performances Even More Impressive When You Know The Truth

Returning to the world of those silly actors putting their bodies on the line instead of leaving the often painful stunts to the professionals, it turns out that wanting to very much throw yourself into the middle of the multiversal violence regularly served up in Sam Raimi's Doctor Strange sequel did quite a number on everyone's favourite Wong.

As revealed by fellow Benedict during a recent interview talking all things Multiverse of Madness, the current Sorcerer Supreme star was actually left nursing four broken ribs on the back of having his body slammed into an object during a particularly gnarly stunt on the shoot.

And while it wasn't clarified as to precisely which moment resulted in this nasty collection of injuries for the Eccles-born sensation, it does add some additional weight to the many moments you see Wong's Wong thrown around the likes of Kamar-Taj and Mount Wundagore at various points in the flick.

The fact Wong himself hasn't even uttered a word about said broken bones either tells you all you need to know about the level of quietly tough thespian we're dealing with here, too.

But seriously, maybe leave it to the pros, guys.
