During the filming of The Passion of the Christ, Jim Caviezel




During the filming of The Passion of the Christ, Jim Caviezel:

1. Lost 45 pounds

2. Was struck by lightning

3. Accidentally scourged with a whip TWICE...leaving a 14-inch scar

4. Had his shoulder dislocated

5. Suffered from pneumonia and hypothermia while hanging mostly naked on a cross for several hours outside.

6. His body was so stressed and exhausted from playing the role that he had to have 2 OPEN HEART SURGERIES after the production!

The crucifixion scene alone took 5 weeks of the 2-month filming time.

The Passion of the Christ is the highest-grossing rated-R movie of all time, at $370.8M

Worldwide it grossed $611M.

Mel Gibson paid $30M out of his own pocket for the production because no studio would take on the project.

Jim Caviezel was warned not to take the role of Jesus because it would ruin his career.

Jim Caviezel and Mel Gibson proudly proclaim their faith in Christ, amidst the godlessness of Hollywood.

Most importantly, it reached and helped convert many souls around the world.
