George Clooney suffered brain injury in Syriana
Without a doubt, Syriana helped George Clooney’s career. Not only did the reviewers praise the geopolitical thriller, but Clooney’s performance in it earned him a Golden Globe and an Academy Award, in addition to a number of other honors and nominations.
But it also had a far more negative impact on his life. Due to a traumatic brain injury that the actor suffered on filming, he developed terrible migraines and other neurological issues as long-term side effects. The actor has acknowledged that it was so agonizing that he considered ending his own life. There was a time when I felt that this was not how I could live. I’m not able to live,” he said to Rolling Stone. Thankfully, he’s doing considerably better these days after a lengthy recovery.
