When someone from the new crew voices their concerns, they are met with words like, “Oh, don’t be difficult.” Don’t be a nuisance. Or complain; “Are you difficult?” O’Brien explained.

He then added: “Don’t be manipulated into thinking this is difficult because when I look at that day I know I was a 24-year-old boy who raised concerns about the way we were approaching things .” .”

The Love and Monsters actor also added that his words and concerns were not respected and he then had to deal with the life-changing injury.

After the major incident that the Ponyboi actor faced on the sets of Maze Runner: The Death Cure, he starred in American Assasin, which became his first project since the accident.

Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter in 2017, O’Brien mentioned that it was a difficult time for him after the accident and also called the film he made with Michael Keaton a “personal” project.

The actor has worked with several big names in the Hollywood film industry including Owen Wilson, Vince Vaughn, Rose Byrne, Mark Wahlberg, Kurt Russell and Kate Hudson.
