Russell Crowe Recalls Incident On ‘Robin Hood’ Film Set That Left Him With Broken Legs


Russell Crowe is opening up about an accident on the set of 201's Robin Hood that left his legs fractured.

In an interview promoting Land of Bad, Crowe recalled the incident, telling People, “I jumped off a castle portcullis onto rock-hard uneven ground. There was a number of weeks where even walking was a challenge,” he added, noting that he “never discussed the injury with production” and “never took a day off because of it, I just kept going to work.” Ten years after the incident, Crowe started having pains, and after going to the doctor and getting X-rays, the physician asked when he had broken his legs after spotting “remnants of fractures in both shin bones.”
