Stars Injured on Set Sometimes actors get banged up. And for some, it's no laughing matter

Stars Injured on Set, Robert …Ankle Injury

Production on "Iron Man 3" has been suspended after leading man Robert Downey Jr. injured his ankle while performing a stunt. "There will be a short delay in the production schedule while he recuperates," Marvel Studios said Wednesday in a statement regarding the incident which happened on the film's Wilmington, North Carolina, set. 

With a budget said to be in the $200-million range, every day Downy Jr. is not working is major money down the drain. The silver lining: It's a Marvel production! With the success of "The Avengers," which has made nearly $1.5 BILLION worldwide, they can afford it.

On the set "Thor," Chris Hemsworth was playing with his co-star Tom Hiddleston's whip and accidentally popped himself in the eye with it -- which caused swelling and bruising. "I went to use it and he told me to be careful and I'm like, 'I'm fine, I'm fine'. And then I accidentally stood on the end of the whip and cracked the thing and it recoiled and hit me right in the eye," Hemsworth has said.
