Jim Caviezel was exposed to a series of life-threatening scenarios while shooting The Passion of the Christ, including pneumonia and hypothermia from below-freezing temperatures on set. He was even hit with lightning during one scene.

These incidents show the bodily cost of undertaking such a grueling role based on the final hours of the life of Jesus Christ before the crucifixion.
