"It was a serious injury but I was like, ‘Look, I've got a movie, I've got a release date and my crew. I don't want to lose my crew’.
"So I figured out how I would really rehab and train ten to 12 hours a day and I was back shooting in six weeks and I actually started running again in ten weeks and then sprinting in 12.
“All the sprints that the audience sees in the movie are actually on my broken foot.
“I still had the broken foot and I wasn't able to do as many takes, but we figured out where I could do a limited amount. After I did it the first time, I couldn't walk for three days.”
