Russell Crowe Discloses Decade-Old Leg Fractures from 'Robin Hood' Stunt
The actor continued filming despite severe injuries, only discovering the fractures years later during a routine doctor's visit.
- Russell Crowe revealed he fractured both legs while filming a stunt for 2010's 'Robin Hood', but didn't realize the extent of his injuries until a decade later.
- Despite the severe injuries, Crowe never took a day off, never discussed the injury with production, and received no medical treatment at the time.
- The actor discovered the fractures during a doctor's visit for unrelated leg pains, where remnants of the fractures were found in his shin bones.
- Crowe attributes the healing of his legs to the intense physical training he underwent for his role in 2013's 'Man of Steel'.
- This is not the first time Crowe has sustained injuries on set; he has previously suffered from a disintegrating hip, torn labrum tissue, and no cartilage in his toes due to stunts.
