Jeff Bridges nearly died filming an elaborate stunt.

The actor was shooting an action scene in Ridley Scott's 1996 film 'White Squall' when he inhaled so much water and jet fumes his body starting "shutting down".

George Clooney and Ewan McGregor were shook by a huge earthquake while filming in Puerto Rico on Saturday.

Neither movie star was hurt in the quake - which measured 6.1 on the Richter scale - but many people on the Caribbean island were thrown from their beds when it struck.

Robert Downey Jr. was not first choice to star in 'Iron Man'. The 43-year-old actor had to beg the film's director Jon Favreau to give him the lead role of billionaire weapons developer Tony Stark in the Hollywood blockbuster.

He said: "I thought I would be perfect for the part. But they weren't necessarily thinking of me right away."

Robert Downey Jr. says settling down has been key to his Hollywood comeback.

The 'Iron Man' star revealed his marriage to Susan Levin is the secret to a happy life, and leaving his wild past behind has made this his best year yet.
