The Oscar-nominated actor - who plays a Mende fisherman in the movie about
conflict diamonds in Sierra Leone - insists it is the ‘roughest’ film he has
ever made.
Djimon said: ‘I’ve never done anything this rough. Scene after scene my body
gets hurt. It was extremely challenging. Earlier in the shoot, Leo was
beating me up take after take.
‘My chest was hurting for weeks. If I’d been white, I’d have been black and
blue!’
Djimon - who also starred in ‘Gladiator’ and ‘In America’ - has also
revealed that ‘Blood Diamond’ brought back distressing memories of his life
in Benin, Africa.
He explained: ‘In one shot there were kids sitting on a concrete floor with
no desks, no books, nothing. I remember that, sitting on a dirt floor,
trying to learn as much as I could, trying to be the best I could be.’
