“Everything could have gone wrong went wrong. The first action scene I’m basically, I’m a crash test dummy that my co-star is using my face to break every piece of porcelain in this bathroom, and my hand, I heard it snap. I was like ‘This is not good,’” he recalled during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon
Dev continued, “And I knew, you know, you’ve got 450 people on an island, and if I go down, the film goes down. You know, we had a purpose during a really prickly time in history. And I told my producer I was like ‘Don’t say anything. Let’s just keep filming.’ By the end of the day my hand was like an elephant’s foot. And we couldn’t afford to put a cast on and VFX it out of this movie.”
Dev recounted that “the doctor put a screw in my hand.” He was advised to avoid putting more than one pound of pressure on his hand, however, that didn’t stop the actor from returning to work.
“Actually, I went straight back to set the next day, and was throwing myself and bouncing off a window,” Dev admitted.
The star then showed a T-shirt of an X-ray of his hand made by the movie’s crew.
“The one screw that kept this production alive,” Dev quipped.
Monkey Man opens in theaters on April 5. Watch the trailer!
