16) Angelina Jolie in Salt

Angelina Jolie is considered one of the best actresses in Hollywood, but she has faced her own set of problems. While shooting for the 2010 film - Salt, a spy thriller, she faced many physical challenges. Her stunts were intensely demanding, requiring intensive training in martial arts and combat, and she endured a lot of injuries. Moreover, while shooting, she also gained a scar on her face, which is now permanent, and being in the acting profession, getting a scar can be quite damaging to one's career.
