“I tore my meniscus the first day, and I’m producing the movie, so I couldn’t shut the production down. I had to fight through. These guys, you know, adventure racers, endurance athletes, [are] incredible, absolutely incredible.”
For those unversed, a meniscus is a c-shaped pad of cartilage that acts like a shock absorber in the knees. So, meniscus helps the body while running, jumping, or even working out.

“[I was] running along a hill where we went up the embankment and just jumped off a little rock, landed on it wrong, I kind of snapped my knee back, and it tore, but when I got it x-rayed, the doctor was pretty adamant about doing the surgery because what happens is, if it locks, it can lock in a bent and flexed position, and then you cannot move your knee until they perform the surgery,”
He further continued,
“I just said, ‘You know what? I got to kind of try to tough it out and see if I can get through the movie. I prefer to try to do corrective exercises versus surgery. It’s not my thing.”
