George Clooney Contemplated Suicide After Stunt Injury

It isn’t all 6-month relationships and parties for George Clooney – he has had his dark moments as well.

While filming a scene for his supporting turn in “Syriana” back in 2005, a mishap during an attempted stunt left George Clooney with a severely injured spine. As he told Rolling Stone in last week’s cover story, the injury was so bad, he considered taking his own life.

“I was at a point where I thought, ‘I can’t exist like this. I can’t actually live,’” he told the magazine. “I was lying in a hospital bed with an IV in my arm, unable to move, having these headaches where it feels like you’re having a stroke, and for a short three-week period, I started to think, ‘I may have to do something drastic about this.’”

I’ve heard people that have bad enough injuries that they do actually want to kill themselves. Pretty gnarly.
