Shazam Star Zachary Levi Had to Go to the ER After Playing Wii
Way back in the mid-2000s, Zachary Levi became a more widely known actor thanks to his role in the NBC series Chuck. In 2019, he was thrust into film superstardom thanks to his role in the DC superhero film Shazam! A sequel to the film, Shazam! Fury Of The Gods is currently set to be released later this year, having been bumped up from its original 2023 release date. Before all of this happened, the actor had an incredibly bad accident involving the Nintendo Wii.

This gave gamers an extra level of immersion and, in the case of games like Wii Sports, allowed them to further feel like they were playing the sports games in their own homes. Unfortunately, because of the motion controls sometimes very serious accidents would occur, as they did with Zachary Levi.
