OUCH

[annathepiper]

Apparently, the lovely and talented Mr. Crowe has dislocated his shoulder training for his next movie, the same shoulder he in fact injured while doing initial filming for Flora Plum a couple years back. Ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow.

Russell dear, you can STOP THAT NOW. Your shoulder and your fans will appreciate it! (Especially those of us who have broken things near shoulders and whose shoulders are still a trifle cranky about that...)

OUCH

from someone w/ autodislocatable shoulders, when they're FORCED out it hurts like an SOB!
OUCH!

hopefully he dind't do a sufficient number on it to require surgical intervention, b/c then it will not likely ever be as strong as the other... *whimper*

Re:

I am given to understand that he will, in fact, require a bit of surgery. He'd screwed up that same shoulder the first time with the first injury, and he needed surgery for that, too. :/ The news item I saw up on MaxCrowe said that it's a different part of the shoulder, but still. Ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow.

Re:

wonder if they might just do a full shoulder overhaul instead of waiting for him to destroy another portion?
cuz when they reapir PART of it, the rest of it destabilizes and the seams are the fault lines of the area...
bio-sibling-unit doing this w/ her knees of late... grrrrrr
but yes, OW OW OW is about all you can say as body parts CRINGE in sympathy!

Re:

He certainly could afford overhaul surgery, but I guess we'll see! He's going to have to be real careful with it--I mean, he's supposed to be a BOXER in this new flick. So it's not like he can get out of the physical training for the role. I just hope he doesn't have to ditch this role like he had to do with Flora Plum.

Re:

my guess is it will depend on 2 things:
1 - his recovery & rehab schedules
2 - the production schedule flexibility to accomodate #1

depending, is it REALLY worth potentially making his arm almost useless for a film??
methinks NOT!

Re:

Definitely not. And now he's got a family to think of, too. It'll be interesting to see how having a wife and son affects his decision in this.

That must be for the boxing movie, Cinderella Man.

Re:

[annathepiper]

That's the one, yeah. He'd apparently recently started training with boxing experts to get himself into appropriate shape.

Re:

I know what you're saying, but I didn't think he needed training to fight. ;-)

Re:

[annathepiper]

*LAUGH* Well, there's a difference between punching a guy in "I'm a drunken Aussie in the middle of a barroom brawl" style, and "I'm a professional boxer" style. ;) And he's got to look like the latter for this flick!

Re:

Just as long as he doesn't play the violin between rounds, it should be all right.

*snorf* Um, don't think so. ;)
