Well, at least on the set of Mel Gibson's The Passion of Christ. Jim Caviezel, the actor playing Jesus, was struck by lightning on the movie set:
The crew was on a remote location a few hours from Rome when the storm occurred.
"I'm about a hundred feet away from them," producer Steve McEveety said, "when I glance over and see lightning coming out of Caviezel's ears."
Both Caviezel and his assistant director Michelini were struck. The main bolt hit Caviezel and one of its forks hit Michelini's umbrella.
Neither of the men sustained injuries in the incident.
Michelini has been nicknamed Lightning Boy after being struck twice by lightning during the filming in Italy. He had already suffered light burns on the tips of his fingers in an earlier incident during filming on a hilltop in the town of Matera.
Are two lightning strikes the same as two thumbs up (or down)?
