[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”1782″ img_size=”900×450″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]From Daredevil season two to Punisher season one, Frank Castle has sported his fair share of bruises. Seriously, the makeup department budget must be a large one with the amount of bruising they paint on Jon Bernthal. But, it seems the actor is sporting some real-life injuries due to filming season two of The Punisher.
Bernthal recently sat down for Men’s Health Magazine for a full interview, where he showed off a scar indicating he had broken his hand:
“That’s where I broke my hand on the first day of filming the first fight scene of the year for The Punisher 2. I kept on fighting, and on day two I tore ligaments, then on day three I dislocated it and had to get emergency surgery.”
“Was it the smartest thing to keep fighting with a broken hand? Maybe not. Maybe I could have been out for a shorter time,” Bernthal said in regards to literally being knocked unconscious, while also showing off some scars on his arm.
If this doesn’t show dedication to the character, I don’t know what does.
“But I look at filming a scene like that the same way I look at a boxing match. I’m not gonna be the one to say I’m gonna walk away.”
Jon Bernthal is an incredibly busy man and filming the Punisher lasted six months, which meant time away from his family.
“Above all, I have a responsibility to take care of my family, but it’s hard because it takes me away from the people I love. . . . If I’m going to be away from my kids, I want one day for them to look at it and say, ‘Well, Dad was gone, but he was giving everything he had.’”
I think I speak for all of us when I say how much we appreciate the dedication an actor like Bernthal puts into all his characters. The Punisher season two will hit Netflix in January, 2019.
He stars in @netflix's @ThePunisher, but being a dad is a bigger deal. @jonnybernthal is our first cover guy of 2019.
