Russell Crowe Reveals Breaking Both Legs While Filming Robin Hood

Russell Crowe broke both legs during a stunt for Robin Hood.

Russell Crowe recently disclosed that he endured a significant injury while filming Ridley Scott's 2010 adaptation of Robin Hood. The movie, which offered a grittier take on the legendary character, saw Crowe portraying a rebellious version of Robin as he fought against the crown in a small village.

In a surprising revelation, Crowe shared that he broke both of his legs during a stunt for the film. The incident occurred when he jumped off a castle portcullis onto uneven ground without proper padding. Despite the excruciating pain, Crowe continued to work without taking any time off, only discovering the extent of his injuries a decade later when he underwent x-rays due to persistent discomfort in his legs.
