“I really thought that I was going to lose my leg”: 16 years ago, Michael Youn seriously injured on the set of this comedy noted 1.4 out of 5

Jean -Paul Belmondo aside, Michaël Youn is one of the French actors that we have the most seen making cascades – more or less controlled – on the screen. Whether it is in its program the Morning Live (We remember that he threw himself with stairs without protection) at the cinema in the 11 commandments or sometimes even on the TV shows.

But the time the actor was hurting was not immortalized in video. It happened on the set of the film Lucky Luke, directed by James Huth, in which the vigilante to the strand of grass friend of Jolly Jumper was embodied by Jean Dujardin.

Youn lent his features to the character of Billy The Kid, but in order to face as it should be the man who draws faster than his shadow, the actor found himself having to make the horse. An experience that will cost him dearly, as he said in the podcast Small Talk ::

“(…) I thought I had lost my leg. We had a horse, and I eaten a tractor in the leg. [Le cheval] Trained me for 50 meters and my head stopped 10 centimeters from a combine harvester, etc., etc. I could simply have died. I really thought I was going to lose my leg, I think I never cried as much as that day (…). “

A second injury in 2015

It is crazy to imagine that it was the shooting of a comedy like Lucky Luke who caused the most physical difficulty to Michaël Youn, the actor of the 11 commandments, film in which, with his friends, he played to hurt himself (under the control of professionals of course). But Lucky Luke is not the only professional injury suffered by the former star of the Morning Live.

Indeed, six years after the shooting of the Western comedy, youn will fall violently By trying to leave the Marrakech laughter scene. Result: an ankle sprain and a fracture with a bone of the foot. The entertainment environment is dangerous!
