Major Accidents That Happened On The Set of a Film

Die Hard

Despite his macho exterior, Bruce Willis is just as susceptible to hearing loss as the rest of us. During an action scene in Die Hard, Bruce Willis got a little too close to a gun that was firing a blank at someone that was across the screen. The gun fired its cap, and Willis lost two-thirds of his hearing capabilities in his right ear permanently. It wasn’t until after the scene was finished that Willis expressed his discomfort and was rushed to the hospital.
