From here :
The actor who plays Jesus in Mel Gibson’s film The Passion of Christ has escaped injury after being struck by lightning during filming.
[…]
Both Caviezel and his assistant director Michelini were struck. The main bolt hit Caviezel and one of its forks hit Michelini’s umbrella.
Neither of the men sustained injuries in the incident.
Michelini has been nicknamed Lightning Boy after being struck twice by lightning during the filming in Italy. He had already suffered light burns on the tips of his fingers in an earlier incident during filming on a hilltop in the town of Matera.
Okay, one lightning strike might be considered an amusing coincidence, but two ? If I were working on that film, I’d be having some serious second thoughts.
Psst, God – aim for Mel next time…
Jeez, hints don’t come bigger than those. Go Zeus, go! You show them who’s the real God aroudn those parts!
