You’ll Never Believe These Mind-Blowing Secrets from Behind the Scenes of Law & Order: SVU

Mariska Hargitay’s Lung Collapsed on Set

Mariska Hargitay once preferred to do her own stunts, but she changed her mind after an incident in 2008 where she felt like something was wrong after landing on pads during a stunt. At first, Hargitay thought she pulled a muscle, but two weeks later, the injury had yet to heal, and she was experiencing chest pains and shortness of breath. Hargitay was worried she was having a heart attack until someone pointed out that her heart was on the other side of her chest. That’s when she learned that her lung had partially collapsed. Three months later, it happened again. Since then, Hargitay has avoided stuntwork that could jeopardize her health.
