Butler has been known for his Hollywood stunts, but the star recently confirmed his career almost ended earlier on stage during the production of Shakespeare's 'Coriolanus.'
He said: "We were supposed to be these revolting citizens so [the director] puts us all together and he gives us the script... it's very physical theater, so they wanted 12 guys running.
"Run, turn, say the line, run, turn, say the line.
"I thought I'd lost my eye, and then I had a black eye probably for two weeks."
Butler will appear next in the upcoming sci-fi thriller "Geostorm" and is repped by CAA.
