Christensen gets 'knocked around' on set

Hayden Christensen suffered several injuries on the set of his new film Jumper.

The actor, who plays a man who can teleport across the globe, said a list of his injuries was kept on set.

"I got a nice scar across my hand. I split my ear open. I knocked my head pretty badly in one scene. My pupil got stuck in this extremely dilated position which was really disturbing because I couldn't see," he explained.

Despite the danger Christensen was more than willing to put himself in harm's way.

"There's a physical part to my character and he takes some beatings so I get knocked around a bit. I didn't mind it, I enjoyed the physicality of acting and I like action movies so I was game to do as much of it as possible."

The 26-year-old was more than happy to hand over some of the work to the stunt team who managed to avoid suffering the same injuries as him.

"Obviously they don't let you do all of it because they won't let you kill yourself. I tried to do as much as possible but that doesn't mean I did it all.

"My stunt double was better at it (than me) so he didn't get hurt."
