Brad Pitt Tore His Achilles While Playing A Character Named Achilles
Brad Pitt’s Achilles tendon was ruptured when he landed awkwardly in his role as Achilles in the 2004 film Troy. The filming was put on hold for three months as Pitt healed from the serious damage to his leg. Despite the best efforts of Pitt and the rest of the Cast and crew, Troy was a commercial failure and ultimately led to the actor exploring other, perhaps less risky, professional options.
