The Star reports:
“The 41-year-old was sent home from set after straining his body due to a complicated move using his left shoulder. “It was hurting him pretty bad,” a source reveals. “He’s putting his all into this role and it’s pretty physically demanding. The trips to the gym are two, sometimes three times a day and on set he’s like a machine.”
The friendly folks over at batman-news.com also included candid videos taken by onlookers on the set, showing Affleck attending to his left shoulder. The tabloid’s claim was also backed up by another clip featuring Affleck’s stunt double on set the very next day.
