10 Celebs’ Movie Roles That Nearly Ended Their Lives

9. Isla Fisher – Now You See Me

Now You See Me was a mysterious movie about a group of magicians who manage to rob a bank during a live magic show. In one scene, the actress Isla Fisher can be seen chained up inside of a large tank of water that she is supposed to escape from, and things were going pretty smoothly until something went horribly wrong and her chain got stuck. The actress noticed that her chain had become tangled and stuck and although everyone on the set thought that she was just acting, meanwhile she was actually drowning. The actress’s quick thinking saved her life as she managed to get down to the bottom of the tank and push the quick release button, ultimately saving her own life. If she had been in there just a little longer, she would have drowned without anyone ever realizing that she was really struggling.

10. Natalie Portman – Black Swan

Black Swan was a very dark ballerina movie in which Natalie Portman plays the part of a woman whose passion in life is dancing. However, she begins to spiral out of control, does not know what is real and what is fake, and starts to go insane. There are some very intimate moments in this movie where we can see Natalie’s whole body, and she appears to be very thin, possibly even sickly thin, although most of would probably just write that off as special effects. Well, it turns out that this actress had to follow a very strict schedule with the filming of this movie and was given a very punishing diet. The already skinny actress ended up shedding twenty pounds while filming and ended up so thin, she even broke two ribs while filming. She said most nights she was in so much pain that she thought that she was literally going to die. The movie was a huge success and everyone seemed to have loved it, but was it worth all of that pain?
