Struck by Lightning While Playing Jesus ⚡
During the filming of The Passion of the Christ in 2004, actor Jim Caviezel—who played Jesus—was literally struck by lightning during the final scene.
Caviezel later revealed the impact was so severe it forced him to undergo two heart surgeries, including open-heart surgery, and years of heavy medication.
A chilling reminder of how far art—and faith—can push the human body. Some call it coincidence, others call it divine. Either way, it’s one of the most shocking behind-the-scenes stories in movie history.
