Australian actor Russell Crowe has revealed he broke both his legs on the set of Robin Hood, in 2010.
The Les Misérables actor opened up about a "small mishap" that he said took place on the set of Robin Hood in 2010.
The Gladiator star said after he broke both his legs, he simply carried on working.
Speaking to People magazine, the A Beautiful Mind actor explained: "I jumped off a castle portcullis onto rock-hard uneven ground,"
"We should have prepped the ground and buried a pad, but we were in a rush to get the shot done in the fading light." The LA Confidential actor added.
"With hundreds of extras around, arrows flying and burn pots setting the castle on fire, there was no pulling out,
"As I jumped, I remember thinking, 'This is going to hurt.' "
"There was a number of weeks where even walking was a challenge," the Pope's Exorcist's actor explained.
"I finished that movie with two broken legs... No cast, no splints, no painkillers, just kept going to work and over time they healed themselves."
It was in a routine doctors appointment concerning pain in his shins that the doctor asked about his previous leg fractures.
"Apparently he could see the remnants of fractures in both shin bones," The actor added.
He is starring in the film Land of Bad and Kraven The Hunter is due in Irish cinemas next August.
