Actors Who Suffered For Their Biggest Roles

Peter O’Toole, Lawrence Of Arabia

This 1962 epic flick, titled Lawrence Of Arabia, is one of the most notable films in history. But Peter O’Toole might beg to disagree, as he nearly died by the hooves of running camels. The titular actor had been thrown from his camel and hurt his back during the fall. He luckily fell behind his camel before he could be trampled, narrowly escaping.

Shailene Woodley, The Secret Life of the American Teenager

Shailene had a real morality crisis when it came to her main character part in the show 'The Secret Life of the American Teenager'. Her character Amy was the protagonist, so it made leaving pretty hard, but Woodley didn't like her work there. 

"[I]t was a bit hard to show up to work every day knowing that we were going to project all of these themes to thousands, millions, of young adults across the country, when in fact they weren’t what I would like to be sending out," she said.
