| Quote: | The Passion of Christ saved lightning-struck Caviezel!

Talk about divine intervention! Jim Caviezel was struck by lightning as he prepared for the crucifixion scene in controversial film 'The Passion of The Christ'.
According to a report in 'The Sun', the bolt lit up his body and sent the cast and crew around him to the ground. And all present thought that the man who plays Jesus in Mel Gibson's movie was dead.
However, much to everyone else's surprise, the 35-year-old actor remained completely unharmed.
Mel Gibson, the writer and director of the flick, also believed that the incident was a complete miracle, reasserting his belief that God had guided him to pick Jim for the starring role! "God was around while we were making the film. I got lit up like a Christmas tree. People said they saw fire on both sides of my head and a light around me," the report quoted Caviezel as saying.
"All I know is I heard everyone going, 'What the heck happened?' My hair was standing up," he added.
Jim had to endure a lot of physical torture while shooting for the film. Apart from carrying the symbolic cross on a dislocated shoulder, was flogged so brutally he has a 14-inch scar on his back and he became seriously ill with pneumonia, the report adds. Jim is also particular about shedding clothes along with inhibitions on screen. His beliefs have caused problems as he refuses to take part in scenes of explicit sex or violence. He famously told J-Lo to put her clothes back on when she stripped for the movie they starred in together, 'Angel Eyes'. "I have issues with gratuitous violence and sex. When I have studios forcing it down my throat, I won't do it - because I have to answer to God," the "Thin Red Line" star said. (ANI) |
