Aaron Taylor-Johnson lost a piece of his hand and passed out after 'Bullet Train' stunt

Aaron Taylor-Johnson took the action-packed stunts of "Bullet Train" a bit too seriously.

The actor revealed that due to a "crazy Keto diet" he had low blood sugar and passed out on set after sustaining an injury.

“We were in a fight sequence and I get kicked across the room. And the only sharp corner in the corner where there was no padding took a chunk out of my hand,” the 'Kraven the Hunter' star shared with Variety, "And I literally went wham, passed out. And then I came back and said, 'Should we go back?' no, no. You have to go to the hospital for stitches.” So I spent the night in the hospital. "

Taylor-Johnson joked, "You know, when you sign up for a David Leitch movie, you know you must have some battle scars, war wounds."

Co-star Brad Pitt, who performed 95% of his own physical stunts in Jackie Chan-inspired fight scenes, added on the red carpet at the film's premiere that he was uninjured on the set.

"Oh, I definitely went home and said 'ahh,'" Pitt said. "But no. Aaron, on the other hand... Brian [Tyree Henry], on the other hand... Young people, you know."

Taylor-Johnson previously told HERO Magazine that "Bullet Train" was originally envisioned as "a pretty dark, R-rated, vicious action piece" before production took the stars to "the confuse and make it fun". ”

"I don't know what happened, but it became a comedy!" says Taylor-Johnson. “We all just laughed. [Director] David was really open to playing and exploring, it was like a big breath of fresh air - we had a fantastic time."

He added that due to COVID-19 precautions, it was "the weirdest film set I've ever been on".

Taylor-Johnson concluded, "We were tested every day, we had masks on, then the plastic visor on top, and we weren't allowed to interact with each other, you can't physically not shake hands or, at the end of the day, give your friends a hug. It was a funny vibe, when you were lucky enough to have had this intimacy in the past and this collaboration that you you feed yourself."
