In London Has Fallen, the action sequel to Olympus Has Fallen, Secret Service agent Matt Banning shoots, punches, stabs, crash-lands, slides, escapes fires and dodges bullets, and somehow emerges with little more than a scrape. Actor (and producer) Gerard Butler, on the other hand, had to have a week of physical therapy after performing a good deal of his character's stunts.
I find that when I make these movies, you get hurt. But I think most people get hurt... maybe I just talk about it more.The day after I finished this movie, I went straight to Bulgaria and spent a week with a doctor recovering.How did he come to find a physiologist in Bulgaria? Well, he got a tip from a reliable source.I was actually with the German soccer team the night they won World Cup, and Bastian Schweinsteiger was telling me about their amazing physio for the German team, and I said, 'I need to meet this guy.'
