2) Maisie Williams – Game of Thrones Season 8

Maisie Williams said nothing can prepare you for how physically draining it is. She quoted “You can’t get sick, and you have to look out for yourself because there’s so much to do that nobody else can do. There are moments you’re just broken as a human and just want to cry.”

 

3) Henry Cavill – The Witcher Season 2

Henry Cavill injured himself very grievously while filming The Witcher Season 2. He accidentally ended up tearing his hamstring, while running through the woods. The tear was extremely bad and painful and he said that he was lucky it wasn’t a complete detachment of the hamstring.

7) Bryan Cranston – Breaking Bad

Filming Jane’s death scene in Breaking Bad was a very difficult task for Cranston. When Krysten Ritter choked, he apparently saw his real-life daughter in her face for a moment. It jolted and terrified him so much that he couldn’t stop crying even after the director yelled ‘cut’.

Jason Isaacs accidentally wounded Tom Felton with his walking stick on the sets of Harry Potter. He quoted “The very first scene that I shot was actually cut, it’s on the deleted scenes. Draco touched something, and I used this cane and went, ‘Don’t touch anything, Draco.’ I didn’t know how sharp the teeth were, they went right into little Tom’s hands.”
