- Calling it a preventable mistake, he said the safe choice would have been to stop the take by calling “Cut.”
- Reports differ on whether he described injuring his right or left leg, reflecting minor inconsistencies across outlets.
- The discussion followed a prompt about his habit of doing any stunts insurers permit, with coverage also recalling other on-set mishaps and the film’s underwhelming box office.
