The actor went through a major physical transformation in order to bring his character to life. He made it known to “Hollywood Reporter”, where he stated: “My shoulder was sprained and dislocated every time someone hit the cross. While we were shooting the flogging scenes, the whips hit me twice and I had a 14-centimeter gash on my back. My lungs were full of fluid and I had pneumonia.”
