Man on set of 'Christ' hit by lightning

 

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

 

NEW YORK -- Don't tell Jan Michelini that lightning doesn't strike twice. Michelini, an assistant director on Mel Gibson's "The Passion of Christ," was nicknamed "Lightning Boy" after lightning struck his umbrella during filming on a hilltop in the town of Matera, Italy, reported VLife, a supplement to Variety publications, in its October issue.

 

He suffered light burns on the tips of his fingers.

 

A few months later, while the crew was on a remote location a few hours from Rome, a storm rolled in and Michelini, again carrying an umbrella, was standing beside star Jim Caviezel on top of a hill, the publication said.

 

"I'm about a hundred feet away from them," producer Steve McEveety was quoted as saying, "when I glance over and see lightning coming out of Caviezel's ears. Both Caviezel and Michelini got struck this time. The main bolt hit Caviezel and one of its forks hit Michelini's umbrella."

 

Luckily, they weren't hurt.

How do you expect any ice cream, if you don't eat your meat.

I just want to say, as a Jew, that I am shocked and appaaah, who am I kidding, I was rolling on the floor laughing reading this stuff.

 

And I laugh because it's true ;)
