tumble and subsequently broke his leg a
concerned audience soon turned cheerful

leg but then I want to come back we’re
going to play for you for the next hour
the remaining Foo Fighters continued

bad ass
number seven Indiana Jones in the case
of the travelers diarrhea Harrison Ford
during filming of the first installment
of the Indiana Jones franchise Harrison
Ford contracted an unwanted case of
dysentery his illness meant that he was
unable to be away from his trailer for
more than ten minutes or so at a time
for well toilet reasons mileage the
result of this was the iconic Arab
swordsmen fight scene which saw Ford
take care of business quickly by simply
shooting his opponent rather than
engaging in the planned duel not willing
to let injury or sickness get in his way
he continued the trend in 1993 is the
fugitive by refusing surgery after
damaging ligaments in his leg
that’s classic Harrison Ford for you
number 6 blood boiled up Leonardo
DiCaprio Booma happened and then I
opened my hand then blood starts pouring
everywhere and I saw Jamie go yes and
quitting quitting like heads – Leonardo
DiCaprio has delivered several memorable
performances throughout the years and
this moment is proof of his ability to
create cinematic gold in a scene where
his character Monsieur Calvin J candy
angrily realizes that guests of his
estate have plotted against him he slams
his hand violently down on a dining room
table
Leo palms sat on that table top if you
lift those palms off that turtle shell
tabletop mr. pooch is going through both
barrels that start off DiCaprio became
so invested in the moment that he missed
the table and slammed his hand right
into a glass slicing his skin open
despite a heavily bleeding hand and the
clear shot from fellow cast members the
camera kept rolling and I can choose to
do with my property whatever I so desire
DiCaprio stating character and use the
bloody wound as an added dramatic
element further heightening the tension
of the already intense
to the man with the exceptional beard
and his unexceptional number 5
courageously going live Vanessa Hudgens
there’s not an act oh sandy what are you
doing well the time is right a matter of
hours before Vanessa Hudgens was due for
a performance in the 2016 live
adaptation of Greece her father passed
away due to cancer vowing to perform the
show in his honor she took the stage and
nailed it
Hutchins excelled in her performance of
Rizzo’s famous emotional love ballad
there are worse things I could do which
was a testament to her true ability as
an entertainer and fighter there are
worse things I could do mangled with the
boy are two messages of support
dominated social media and rightly so
because performing under those
circumstances on television let alone
live television was surely not easy

me word okay I’m sandy number four
playing a concert just hours after his
parents deaths
weird al’ yankovic omelets wanna be like
on my knees day and night scoring points
for the afterlife described as the most
painful moment and day of his life
Weird Al Yankovic received the news of
his parents deaths only hours before he
was due to take the stage for a show
their accidental death due to carbon
monoxide poisoning from their home
fireplace left the comedic artist
distraught particularly as his
relationship with them was incredibly
strong Yankovic is quoted as saying
since my music helped many of my fans
through tough times maybe it would work
for me as well and grieved their loss by
taking the stage I was very close to my
parents and it’s just the pain and the
grief is just indescribable one is
something that obviously is to live with
to this day number three Paul Walker’s
death before the end of production the
cast and crew of Furious 7 hey thought
you could leave without saying goodbye
the world stopped to grieve when Paul
Walker a beloved staple of not only the
cinematic universe but also a well-loved
humanitarian died in a car accident in
2013 although this loss of life took
place during the filming of the seventh
installment of The Fast and the Furious
franchise production continued with some
script alterations and the redevelopment
of his character similar in style to the
completion of gladiator after the death
of Oliver Reed Furious 7 used effective
cgi with his brothers caleb and cody
walker used as stand-ins it was a
combination of the emotionally rich
filmmaking and the support of Walker’s
family which saw not only to the
completion of the film but also to one
of the most moving movie characters
send-offs in recent cinematic history
and he’ll always be my brother
got everything
for the last one number two
apocalyptic heart attack Martin Sheen
during the making of the 1979 classic
Apocalypse Now
Martin Sheen suddenly began to profusely
sweat and experience devastating pains
in his chest

filming managing to scramble outside the
cabin he was staying in he struggled to
keep his balance and was found a quarter
of a mile away by a security guard after
receiving adequate medical attention it
was discovered that he’d had a heart
attack on the river I thought that the
minute I looked at him I’d know what to
do but it didn’t happen despite the vast
health complications and having come
face to face with potential death he
lived to not only tell the tale but also
to continue filming the movie returning
to the set just over a month later
before we keep the show going with our
top pick here are some honorable
mentions you’re singing in the rain what

number one the show must go on
Freddie Mercury
considering that the one and only
Freddie Mercury recorded the
appropriately titled song the show must
go on
despite chronic illness and his
impending death from hiv/aids
complications it’s safe to say his
dedication to Queen and to his fans was
beyond courageous
Oh
given that his illness was not publicly
known at the time and that his health
was quickly declining no new footage for
a music video was filmed instead they
put together a montage from their
previous music videos
when it came time to actually record the
tune however mercury pulled through he
exclaimed quote health King do it
darling and downed a glass of vodka the
results was an utterly passionate vocal
performance that he reportedly nailed in
a single take
