Patel revealed that he walked away from the injury with a special t-shirt made by the film crew.
Dev Patel revealed that “everything that could’ve gone wrong went wrong” when he suffered an injury on the set of his directorial debut “Monkey Man.”
The actor, who stars in the upcoming action movie, opened up to Jimmy Fallon on Friday about breaking his hand during the film’s first action scene.
“I’m basically, I’m a crash test dummy and my co-star is using my face to break every piece of porcelain in this bathroom and my hand, I heard it snap. I was like ‘This is not good,’” said Patel on “The Tonight Show.”
“And I knew, you know, you’ve got 450 people on an island, and if I go down, the film goes down. And you know, we had a purpose during a really prickly time in history.”
Patel, who recently described making “Monkey Man” as the “most demanding thing” he’s done in his life, said he told his producer to not say anything and “keep filming.”
