But what we don’t know is the tough injury-packed life they live behind those shiny cinema screens. Action scenes are pure fun to watch and more of a danger to perform. And when actors tend to do them their selves, things only turn worse. If you’re a moviegoer, you probably have an idea about the passion required to film these heart-stopping stunts. Here is a list of 12 actors who almost lost their lives and suffered a lot of injuries while filming intense scenes in their respective movies.
