Taking a break from filming Arrow season 7, Stephen Amell took a moment to share how much pain he's enduring for the show. Even for a series known for its stunts and its star's penchant for performing them himself (along with plenty of reps on the salmon ladder) this new season seems to really be putting Amell through the ringer.

Arrow wrapped last season with a finale that ushered in major changes to the status quo. After six seasons and several close calls, the law finally caught up with Amell's Oliver Queen, the mayor of Star City and the local hero known as Green Arrow. A season-long war with gangster Ricardo Diaz (Kirk Acevedo) led to the breakup of Oliver's team, severe strain on his relationship with his son William (Jack Moore), and the death of his friend Quentin Lance (Paul Blackthorne). Finally, Oliver had to give up his identity and face imprisonment for his vigilantism in order to save his friends from a similar fate.

Taking to Twitter, Amell shared a short video describing his current predicament. With his bearded face showing plenty of bruises and scrapes (though it's unclear if those are genuine or make-up), he describes the first few episodes of the season as more "physically taxing days" than other full seasons. He also describes the experience as "getting the s*** kicked out of me" on a daily basis. Based on the actor's demeanor and tone, he's not kidding.
