Jude Law says Robert Downey Jr. “stomped” on an extra’s hand while filming Sherlock Holmes (2009), leaving the poor actor screaming in the middle of a fake-carnage scene.
Law recalled a scene where they walked into a room filled with rubber bodies.
“There’s a big hand lying there and [Robert] just stomps...”
Law reenacted the moment, explaining that the extra suddenly cried out:
“Aargh! For the love of God!”
Downey Jr. then joked about what happened next:
“Then the problem was, the guy goes, ‘Oh, I can only say I had the honor of having my hand stomped by the great Sherlock Holmes!’”
Downey added, “In America, he’d be like, ‘LAWSUIT!’”
