Aaron Taylor-Johnson had to be hospitalised while filming for the “Bullet Train.”
‘Bullet Train’ Star Aaron Taylor-Johnson Collapsed On Set Following Keto Diet-‘I Literally Went Wham, Passed Out’
Aaron, for his part, had seen his role alongside Brad Pitt clouded by this incident. During the course of filming for a fight scene, Aaron passed out on set because of a Keto diet he had been following in order to get his body lean.
However, in doing so, the actor’s blood sugar levels had gotten so low to the point where he passed out. That is when he was required to be taken to hospital. And looking back, it was a rather surreal experience.
In an interview with Variety, Aaron said: “We were in a fight sequence and I get drop-kicked across the room. And the one sharp bit of the corner where there wasn’t any padding took a chunk out of my hand.
“I literally went wham, passed out.” Nevertheless, Aaron did not let that sway him. A short while after the incident, he regained consciousness and asked if he should continue.
Irrespective of his willingness and enthusiasm to go ahead with the scene, the people on set advised him not to do such a thing. This was entirely understandable since there was a risk that the actor could damage his own health.
Not only that, but the people on set could also be liable should anything have happened to him. Aaron added: “Then I came back and was like ‘Should we go again?’
“And they were like ‘No, no, no. You gotta go get stitches at the hospital.’ So then I spent the night in the hospital.”
The fans on social media recognised that Aaron pushed himself to the limit in order to dedicate himself to the film. And his efforts were widely appreciated. One person wrote: “Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s work ethic can never be questioned.”
Thankfully, Aaron made it out alive to give his version of events as who knows what could have happened on any other given day. So there you have it folks. What did you think about this? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
