Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s On-Set Injury While Filming ‘Bullet Train’
In an exciting behind-the-scenes revelation, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, one of the stars of the highly anticipated action film “Bullet Train,” shared an unexpected incident that occurred during filming. The actor’s experience on set was a mix of laughter and intensity, but an unfortunate accident temporarily derailed the fun.
On-Set Injury: A Painful Moment
During the Los Angeles premiere of “Bullet Train,” Taylor-Johnson opened up about a harrowing moment that resulted in a trip to the hospital. “I was on some crazy mad Keto diet,” he explained, attributing his faintness to the rigorous regimen that left him feeling weak. “We were filming a fight scene, and I got drop-kicked across the room. Unfortunately, I hit a sharp corner that was unpadded, which caused a significant injury to my hand.” The actor recounted how he briefly lost consciousness before insisting on continuing the shoot. “When I came to, I asked, ‘Should we go again?’ but the crew quickly told me, ‘No, no, no. You need stitches!’ So, I ended up spending the night in the hospital,” he recalled with a mix of humor and disbelief.
The Film’s High-Stakes Plot
“Bullet Train,” directed by David Leitch—who is known for his work on blockbuster hits like “Deadpool 2” and “Atomic Blonde”—features Brad Pitt as a hitman navigating a train filled with deadly assassins, including characters played by Taylor-Johnson, Bad Bunny, Joey King, and Brian Tyree Henry. As the plot unfolds, the assassins discover that their missions are interconnected, transforming the high-speed journey into a chaotic battleground.
Embracing the Chaos
Despite the injury, Taylor-Johnson expressed how enjoyable filming the action-packed scenes was. “When you sign up for a David Leitch movie, you know you might end up with a few battle scars,” he said, emphasizing the film’s energetic atmosphere. “We all just came in to have fun. David allowed us so much freedom to improvise and ad-lib, which helped bring our characters to life in this heightened reality.” He hopes that the vibrant personalities of their roles will resonate with audiences, adding a unique flair to the film.
Release Date
Fans can look forward to “Bullet Train” hitting theaters on August 5, promising a thrilling cinematic experience filled with action, humor, and unexpected twists.
