William Moseley (Peter Pevensie) struck by Lightning on Film Set

William Moseley, 25, played Peter Pevensie in the three Walden Media Chronicles of Narnia films.  He was filming a new romantic drama, called The Silent Mountain in Italy, when a violent thunderstorm rolled in.  The cast and crew ran for cover.  It turned out that it wasn’t enough, as a lightning bolt struck their building, shocking Moseley and nine others inside the building.

Moseley is now on the rebound and he alerted fans of his improving condition with a post on his Twitter account.

He writes, “Hi everyone, yeah I am fine. I was struck by lightning on the arm and am doing fine now. It was very traumatic. We [were] just starting to film. It came through the roof and struck nine other crew members. I feel very lucky to be alive.

“I’ve learned a lot from this experience. We have two weeks left of filming and I know it will be a great and productive time. The crew have been wonderful. I am looking forward to all of you seeing the film. I believe it will be very special. Thank you for all of you kind words.”

  1. glad that he is ok from the lighting strike- scary thing, and he is great as king peter

  2. Omygoodness!! Thank goodness William and the others are alright. This is very scary, but it’s very good that William is recovering now.

  3. Whoa, having your crew get struck by lighting on set must have been one of the last things that the filmmakers were worried about! I’m glad that everyone is okay!

  4. Wow! Glad he survived. I had a friend get struck and it took him a LOOOONNNNGG time to recover. Parts of him may never.

  5. Wow! That’s pretty scary! I am glad that he is OK! Hopefully /everybody/ had a quick recovery!

  6. Relieved to see William Moseley is OK. Must have been a horrific experience. Hope he gets better soon.

  7. Oh! poor Peter/William I was dead worried about him, I’m glad he’s fine now. I love the Pevensie kids! and them in real life!

  8. WOW…. Thats kind of scary. I am glad he is okay.

    What is ironic is that someone from my favorite singing group (Celtic Thunder) had a major accident and was in the hospital for like, a month and a half. He’s been doing better too. But its kind of weird that two people I am a fan of have been injured in serious ways recently.. :p

  9. Very good to read that all were ok, and that William is recovering.
    Good also that he’s continuing with his acting career. He, Anna, Skandar and Georgie have some unfinished business in that line of work…

  11. For all the people liked Chronicles of Narnia on facebook I was wondering if you guys think they should post pictures of the movies and a quote with it

  12. Hey, I read that William, though struck himself, went back and helped the others that were struck before getting help himself!

  13. This was my birthday when this happened I’m glad William is ok
