Russell Crowe, the renowned actor, recently shared a shocking revelation about his experience on the set of ‘Robin Hood’. In a candid interview with People, Crowe disclosed that he had suffered a significant injury almost 15 years ago during the filming of the movie.

The Incident

Crowe detailed that the injury occurred while performing a stunt that involved jumping off a castle gate onto uneven ground. The actor mentioned that due to the late hour and rushed preparation, a crash pad was not buried for the stunt, leading to the unfortunate outcome.

The Aftermath

Despite feeling a jolt of pain upon landing, Crowe persevered through the scene, as it was part of an epic battle sequence. He continued to push through the remaining month of shooting, even though he encountered difficulty in walking.

The Revelation

Years later, Crowe sought medical attention for persistent leg pain, only to discover through X-rays that he had sustained fractures during the filming of ‘Robin Hood’. Remarkably, the actor attributed the natural healing of his legs during a year-long break between projects as a testament to his resilience.
