Russell Crowe broke both legs filming 'Robin Hood' The 59-year-old actor rushed through filming a scene which required him to jump onto "rock-hard" ground without the surface being properly prepared. At the time, Russell "never discussed the injury with production, never took a day off because of it, I just kept going to work" A decade later, he sought medical help when he began experiencing "very strange pains" in his lower legs.
Oscar-winning star underwent MRI scans and X-rays and was stunned when the doctor looked at the images and asked when he had broken his legs.
