George Clooney – Chronic Pain
Syriana was George Clooney’s 2005 spy thriller. One image saw Clooney chained to a chair and pummeled until the chair toppled back and his head hit the floor. It ended quickly but changed the A-list actor’s life. Clooney broke the dura, which protects the brain and spinal cord. “I basically bruised my brain,” he told The Guardian in 2005. “It’s bouncing around my head because spinal fluid doesn’t support it.” The prolonged pain after the injury made Clooney consider suicide before opting to accept his new life. “You can’t mourn for how you used to feel, because you’re never going to feel that way again,” a doctor told Clooney.

Shania Twain – Lyme Disease
“I was very scared for a little while that I wouldn’t sing again, ever,” Shania Twain said of her Lyme disease diagnosis in a 2017 interview with People magazine. Between 2005 and 2011, the Canadian diva did not release any new songs as she learned to live with the sickness and rehabilitate her voice, which suffered from dysphonia. Twain starred in the 2011 reality miniseries Why Not? with Shania Twain, which chronicled her struggle to return to the stage. This was followed by a Vegas residency and, finally, a fifth studio album, which was released in 2017. “I went through that moment,” Shania told People. But I discovered a way. I found a means to accomplish it.”
