7. Jason Statham
It wasn’t only Sylvester Stallone who had a near fatal accident on the set of filming ‘The Expendables ‘franchise. Jason Statham also experienced the taste of death, in true action hero style when he escaped a 60ft wagon plunge into the Black Sea. His co-star Stallone said of the event “He faced death. He was test-driving a three-ton truck and the brakes run out. It went down 60ft into the Black Sea and became impaled. We would have drowned. But because Jason is an Olympic-quality diver he got out of it.”
Yep, you read it right. Jason competed for England on the springboard and the platform back in 1990 for the Commonwealth Games in New Zealand, before he became one of Hollywood’s biggest heartthrobs.
