Did you know that in Whiplash

Did you know that J.K. Simmons and Teller suffered brutal injuries while filming Whiplash? Both lead actors in Whiplash experienced genuine pain in various scenes in the movie. In one scene, Teller's character knocks down Simmons to the ground. Simmons ultimately sustained two broken ribs as a result. Furthermore, Teller revealed that some of the blood we saw as a result of his frantic drumming was actually his. We even witness Fletcher repeatedly smacking Andrew across the face to cap it all off.

This movie took the definition of blood sweet and tears to a whole new level

Paid blood sweat and probably tears to make a timeless movie. Well played both Simmons and Teller.

[Christineelyons]

Jesus how hard did he fall to break ribs??? 😬

[adrianramos]

That explains why this movie is a masterpiece

[daguroswaldson]

Wow, obsessive actors to play characters with an obsession for perfection! That fits well!

[dbturbonub]

I expected nothing less from this masterpiece!!!

[TheMasked_Fool]

I hear this guys voice everywhere on youtube

[ellsay]

The fact that he could scream that much at that age and not get a heart attack or high blood pressure says a lot

[kuldipprashar]

Man it was a good movie no need of that ribs and all

[BlackHoleBFB_TPOT]

"Not quite my tempo."🚫🚫🚫
"Not quite my injury."✅️✅️✅️

[hoid]

Dont forget the cruel car crash from that one scene 😭

[kingzeno]

This movie was as good as I anticipated

[DefinetlyNotACrocodile]

Just more proof why JK Simons deserved the oscar

[marcuslk]

Omg Luigi looks so different in this scene, but i love it

[simonsoon]

And that's how Simmons got an Oscar

[richiejohnson]

Was Teller cast in this because he was already a great drummer? Or was this one of those cases where a versatile actor picks up and excels at some difficult skill in an incredibly short time? Please don't tell me he learned how to play the drums just for this role...

I thought that tackling scene looked kinda rough for Simmons i didnt realize he actually got that severely injured tho

[Onion]

He was also actually hit by a semi truck

[RandallColvin-]
