Russell Crowe's Grit Behind the Scenes of Robin Hood

Russell Crowe, while shooting Ridley’s “Robin Hood,” literally took a leap of faith that ended with both legs broken. Imagine this: Crowe, in full action-hero mode, decides to jump off a castle because the scene just has to be perfect.

Flash forward ten years, and the guy finds out during a casual doc visit that he’s been walking around with remnants of that day’s bravery (or craziness) in his shins. No doctors, no complaints, just Russell powering through and keeping it hush.
