And to his credit, he took it right smack on the head. It actually cut him and he started bleeding. I made him bleed. Bruce was fine. I think if he wasn&#8217;t such a major movie star, he&#8217;d make a phenomenal stuntman. He is one of the most coordinated actors I&#8217;ve ever worked with. His makeup artist wasn&#8217;t too happy about it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><em>RED<\/em> will open on October 15.
