13 Stars Who Had a Close Call with Death

10. Tom Hanks

Just a few days after Tom Hanks finished filming Castaway in Fiji, the actor suffered a leg infection which led to blood poisoning. The actor says he and his crew left the island on a Friday and by Sunday his leg was twice its normal size. Hanks was rushed to the hospital and had immediate surgery that same night. Doctors said that if he was still out filming in Fiji without proper care, he could have died in a matter of weeks due to the poisoning.
