I've got bits falling off me. I'm not made of rubber. That's from film stunts. Every single injury I have is related to a movie. I know that sounds fundamentally embarrassing.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If you're gonna do action movies, you're gonna get an injury at some point. It's inevitable.
The funny thing is, I've never really hurt myself in an action movie. I've done 'Wanted,' 'X-Men,' 'Welcome To The Punch,' even 'Trance' to a certain extent has little bits of action and stuff, but I've never really hurt myself at all - not even like a sprained ankle.
I've spent my life doing action films and most of my own stunts, so my teeth have been knocked out along the way. It happened so frequently that I can't even remember where I lost most of them.
If you're not bruised up, then you're not doing an action film in a real way.
Repetition on things like that becomes quite painful. If you do a stunt sometimes it can look like a stunt.
I've had broken bones and cuts and dashes and tears from movies, but when I was five, my mom put the biscuits up high so we wouldn't be helping ourselves. So, one day I asked to stand up on a chair to get a biscuit, and it fell, and the corner of the chair went right into the side of my eye, and it made a big hole in there.
I got tackled once in a movie theater. I was with my mom and brother, and then suddenly I got hit from behind and sort of sprawled out on the candy counter.
When you know youre whoring it hurts. I have kids. I'm not going to run down an actor for doing this.
I always end up hurting myself doing something mundane. If I have to do some complicated stunt, I'm fine.
I'm always getting injuries like bruised and bloody knuckles from catching a cymbal or the edge of a drum.
