George Clooney almost died when he injured his back pretty bad while filming Syriana. The pain of the injury even made Clooney consider suicide. He recalls, “I was lying in a hospital bed with an IV in my arm, unable to move, having these headaches where it feels like you’re having a stroke, and for a short three-week period, I started to think, ‘I may have to do something drastic about this’ . . . but I never thought I’d get there.”

Ed Harris is a superb actor, but that wasn’t good enough for James Cameron on the set of The Abyss. For a scene where Ed’s character runs out of oxygen, the director gave him an empty SCUBA tank to cause actual asphyxiation. According to rumors, Ed knocked Cameron out once he found out what happened and for that reason they haven’t worked together since.

Jackie Chan is a master of performing amazing stunts, but sometimes things go wrong. When filming Armour of God, Chan missed his landing when jumping into a tree. He crashed to the ground and smashed his head. He almost died, and now has a plastic plate in his head.

Martin Sheen had a heart attack while filming Apocalypse Now and had to drag himself a quarter mile before anyone discovered him and got him the needed medical attention. The film’s director, Francis Ford Coppola, was so worried about the whole thing that he kept it quiet, even to the extent of explaining Sheen’s hospitalization as being due to “heat exhaustion” in the official shoot schedule.

Chevy Chase

While working on the film Modern Problems (1981), Chevy Chase was nearly electrocuted when a stunt went awry during the sequence in which he is wearing landing lights and dreams that he is an airplane. The current in the lights short-circuited through his arm, back, and neck muscles, which caused him to lose consciousness and have a near-death experience. After his experience, he went through a period of deep depression as many people do when they don’t want to return from their NDE.
