Jake Gyllenhaal recently revealed a harrowing experience he faced while shooting his latest movie, Road House. During a fight scene in the film, Gyllenhaal sustained a severe cut on his hand that led to a staph infection. The actor described the intense stunts involved in the movie, including fighting on the floor, around tables, and glass.
Recalling the moment of the injury, Gyllenhaal explained that he accidentally placed his hand on a piece of straight glass during a bar scene, causing the glass to penetrate his hand. Despite the rigorous fight scenes and stunts in the film, such incidents were not uncommon among the cast, leading to staph infections due to bacteria entering open wounds.
