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.

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

Very goddamn hard.

Actually ribs are quite fragile and they can crack fairly easily

@@mattb7094 I’m not saying age doesn’t add to early falls and a broken bone here and there. Just slow down. I realized I’m not 21 anymore ❤️

Teller isn’t old but acting has its ups and downs. The more you study the character your portraying the harder it is to not get hurt playing a physical character

Greatest movie of all time

[@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...

[@arizergiotis4089]

I had seen somewhere else that he’s been playing since age 15

[@richiejohnson]

@@arizergiotis4089 Thanks that makes me feel better.

[@heneral-gn4vr]

JK was also a frustrated conductor/musician. With the director retelling his experiences, all three of them were destined to such masterpiece.

[@harrybiz3523]

why would it be so bad for him to learn drums for this movie?

[@richiejohnson]

@@harrybiz3523 Not bad... It would be admirable. But I have to believe there are enough drum playing actor/ musicians out there, that that they would be the obvious first choices.

Broke ribs falling down.. common...

Supposedly a violent cough or sneeze could fracture ribs

Why do people always fall for these made up stories that “happen” during production, that are just meant to bring attention to the movie…

[@null-yi6no]

because this kind of stuff happens all the time and just might not be fake?

Bloody fingers is not a brutal injury…maybe the broken ribs but not blisters

all for the oscar

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

HOLY FUCK MAINLY FACTS GUY?

[@ferro1398]

...they had stunt doubles specifically just for that scene come on 😂 in the credits it showed two stunt doubles for Simmons and then one for Teller. There's no way they suffered broken ribs and shit.

[@curgoly3558]

This is just not true lol. Although the smacks were real, there were no broken bones, all blood shown was fake blood as you will likely never draw blood as a percussionist. Still best movie of all time
