10 Ridiculous Stories Behind 2019 Movies

9. Roman Reigns KOs A Cameraman - Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw

With such highly choreographed setpieces where each is more over-the-top than the last, action juggernauts like the Fast & Furious films really need to be careful during shooting for obvious safety reasons. Most actors would be used to such precautions being on set for so long, but some wrestlers.... not so much.

Although both starting off in the ring, a scene featuring The Rock and Roman Reigns in this summer's Fast & Furious spin-off Hobbs & Shaw might have shown the difference between action veteran and rookie. During rehearsals, you'd think 'no need to actually throw this wooden club' would be an easy enough direction to follow. But alas, a club flies out and nails cameraman Lukasz Bielan straight in the head.

While everyone stopped to look at The Rock, it was Reigns who was the guilty party. Thankfully, Bielan got straight back up and wanted to continue filming, sparing Reigns' blushes and prompting him to spend the whole day apologising (which is fair enough). It didn't stop them from laughing about it in hindsight, with The Rock posting about it on his Instagram and even including Bielin's footage, so perhaps we're all winning out on this one in the end.
