Jackie Chan, Who Has A Permanent Hole In His Head, Says His Most Painful Injury Is From Bruce Lee In $400M Movie


Think about Martial Arts in the film industry and your thoughts would probably land on to Jackie Chan. One of the most famous actors in the world, he is best known for doing his own stunts. And hence over his long career, the star has sustained countless serious injuries.
The star has broken many bones while shooting and even has a permanent hole in his head. But when talking about his most painful injury ever, he lists the one he got from the legendary Bruce Lee during their $400 Million movie.

Jackie Chan’s Most Painful Injury
While many look up to Jackie Chan for being a master stuntman, Chan himself is a big fan of the martial arts champion Bruce Lee. Both worked together in the $400 Million movie Enter The Dragon, which was Chan’s first ever movie as a stuntman.

In an interview, the Spy Next Door actor revealed how he pretended to be hurt and in pain, the whole day after Bruce Lee accidentally hit him during a fight.
“I was behind the camera and I would just see Bruce Lee. Then I ran and suddenly it was all black in front of my eyes. He had hit just one stick right on my head. I felt dizzy and I looked at Bruce Lee — he kept acting until the director said cut.”

As soon as the Director said cut, Lee at once ran over to the injured Chan to apologize,
“He then threw his stick, turned around and said, ‘Oh my God’ and ran to me and lifted me up and said sorry. I was not in pain anymore. I was a young guy and very tough. But I pretended to be in pain so that Bruce Lee holds me for as long as he can. I kept pretending the whole day.”

Even in his autobiography, Never Grow Up, Jackie Chan revealed how he was actually too ‘honored to have been hit by Bruce Lee’ and that was a moment he could never forget.
Jackie Chan Has A Permanent Hole In His Head
Jackie Chan is not afraid of injuries and hence does the majority of his stunts on his own. While he has mostly escaped unscathed most of the time, there have been a few where he seriously got himself injured. During the shoot of The Armour Of God, the Shanghai Knights star was left with a serious injury that resulted in a permanent hole in his head and hearing loss.
It was one of those scenes where he had to drink a cup of beer and make a leap at a tree that would bend down and he could escape unhinged. But being the perfectionist he is, Chan wasn’t satisfied with just a single take. Since he was drinking real beer, after a couple of takes the actor fell down hitting his head against a rock.
The injury resulted in a long surgery with a plastic plug inserted into the hole to keep everything where it should be and a slight hearing loss in the right ear. Despite it, the star continues to perform his own stunts, even now.
You can stream Enter The Dragon on HBO Max.

‘I am officially off the market’: When Margot Robbie revealed she made the ‘conscious’ decision of not dating actors


Margot Robbie revealed her decision to not date actors because of the media scrutiny that came with a public relationship of two high-profile actors
Back in 2015, A-lister Margot Robbie made a declaration that she would not be dating any actors. The actress may have alluded to her fiance Tom Ackerley, who she married the following year in 2016. In an exclusive interview with Marie Claire, she revealed that being in a relationship as an actor herself came with its own set of challenges. She believed that dating someone who was popular would add on to the media scrutiny.

Margot Robbie opened up on why she made a conscious decision to not date actorsTalking to Marie Claire, she claimed, “I am officially off the market.” She then shared the reasoning behind her decision and added, “I made a conscious decision not to date actors.” She continued to explain, “But not because I hate actors. That’s a nasty generalization to make, and that’s not the case. People take such an interest in your love life when you have a profile, it puts a lot of stress on a relationship.”
The Barbie actress continued, “So two people with profiles, I figure it’s just double the amount of scrutiny, and I’d like to avoid that at all costs.” This came after reports of her locking lips with Tarzan co-star Alexander Skarsgard started making rounds. It was reported that she was caught kissing the actor during the Sundance Film Festival.

Margot Robbie revealed she opted for a minimal lifestyle even after becoming an actorIn the interview, Robbie also opened up about how she was adapting to fame. She shared, “I have a normal 24-year-old life. If I were a waitress, I’d probably have the exact same lifestyle. I’d go to the same clubs I go to already, live in the same house with the same housemates, hang out with the same people.”
However, Margot Robbie tied the knot with Tom Ackerley who is an English producer and actor. The duo met on the sets of 2013 movie Suite Francaise where Tom was working as an assistant director. Post marriage, both of them launched their production company LuckyChap Entertainment.

‘Rocky’ Was Quite Different In His Original Screenplay, Sylvester Stallone Claims


Sylvester Stallone took his friend’s advice on a rewrite of the original screenplay to Rocky. A few tweaks later, he was on his way to major success.
In the new Netflix documentary Sly, Stallone discussed how he initially conceived of the project, which had a much harder edge. In the early version, Rocky was depicted as a “thuggish” character, inspired by Martin Scorsese’s crime drama, Mean Streets.

But Stallone’s perspective changed when a friend read the script and thought the boxer was too cruel for audiences to actually care about him.
Stallone recalled her crying.

“She goes, ‘I hate Rocky. I hate him. He’s cruel. He hits people. He beats them up.’”
Stallone took it to heart, and asked what he could do to soften the character.

“I said, ‘what if you stop short of it?’ Like, maybe he almost did. He could have, that’s his job, but he doesn’t?’ ‘That’d be nice,’” he added. “I said, ‘What if he had a girlfriend or something?’ ‘Yeah, that’s nice.’ So I go back, start writing that: ‘Girlfriend. Nice.’”
$117 million in box office later, a franchise was born.

Stallone also revealed that actor Dolph Lundgren sent him to the hospital during one fight scene in Rocky IV.
“Dolph Lundgren… he pulverized me,” Stallone says in the documentary. “Later that night, my heart started to swell—which happens when the heart hits the chest—and then my blood pressure went up to 260, and they thought I was going to be talking to angels. Next thing I know, I’m in intensive care, where I’m surrounded by nuns, and I thought, ‘OK, that’s curtains.’”
Stallone was in the hospital for nine days following the incident, praying for “one more round.”
“For the first minute of the fight, it is going to be a free-for-all,” Stallone told Lundgren. The Swedish actor joked in a separate interview that all he did was “obey orders,” explaining, “[Stallone] was the boss. I did what he told me.”
Doctors allegedly told Stallone that he received a blow to the ribs that made his heart rattle around in his ribcage, a condition typically seen in head-on collisions. “I did hit a bus, of sorts,” Stallone joked.
