The actor, who stars alongside WILL FERRELL in the film about two rival Olympic ice skaters, admits the memory of breaking his ankle still makes him shudder.

He says, "I was going into a spin and my skate got caught in the ice and my body kept spinning."

Heder is currently recovering from his injury, but is still able to keep working on the film, thanks to a special leg brace.

He adds, "There are some scenes where I had to wear a brace, but you can't tell I have it on."
