The Oscar winner told 'People' magazine how he discovered he'd fractured his legs while filming the 2010 movie 'Robin Hood' after a trip to the doctor a decade later.

Russell Crowe spilled some behind-the-scenes beans about filming 'Robin Hood' in 2010.

In a recent chat with People, he revealed that a stunt during the movie actually broke both his legs, and he didn't realize it until ten years later.


How? He jumped off a castle without any padding because they were rushing to get the shot before the light faded. Despite the pain, he kept it to himself, not even taking a day off for the last tough month of filming.

Fast forward a decade and strange leg pains led him to a doctor, who found out both his legs were broken during that daring jump. No cast, no splints—just Crowe's dedication to his craft. Talk about enduring for art!

People immediately started speculating about the true nature of the "broken" legs.

Some people were incredulous that this was even possible.

Others said that the film's insurance company wouldn't have allowed that to happen.

People who had multiple injuries like Crowe's chimed in to defend him.

Others saw different possibilities.

But really, the best response was just the visceral reaction that people had when imagining continuing to go to work with two broken legs.

Maybe he's hoping for a sequel?

Nevertheless, people admired how he persevered through the grueling shoot.

The actor also reportedly shaved his beard for the first time since 2019, possibly related to a planned tour this summer.

RFK Jr. Admits That Banning Fluoridated Water Will Cause 'More Cavities'—But He's OK With That

Health and Human Services Secretary (HHS) Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was criticized after admitting in a Fox News interview with Harris Faulkner that his proposed fluoridated water ban would likely lead people to have more cavities—but defended the move nonetheless.

While fluoride is not federally mandated in drinking water, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) had long recommended its inclusion. Fluoride helps prevent cavities by strengthening enamel, and numerous studies have shown that fluoridated water reduces tooth decay in both children and adults.

Jesse Watters Dragged After Trying To Give Mamdani A Scary Nickname That's Actually Kind Of Epic

Fox News personality Jesse Watters was widely mocked after he tried to give New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani a scary nickname in the vein of Conan the Destroyer—only for it to backfire considerably.

Watters is the latest member of the GOP to lash out at Mamdani, a democratic socialist who handily defeated former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary last week.
