Rebel Wilson has opened up about a terrifying accident that occurred during the final stages of filming her new movie Bride Hard, revealing that she came dangerously close to being permanently disfigured. In a candid interview with Access Hollywood, the actress described a chilling moment on set when a gun—used as a prop during a fight scene—accidentally struck her in the face. The impact split open her nose, leaving her in a “pool of blood” and forcing an emergency rush to a plastic surgeon. Wilson recalled the chaos and fear she felt in the immediate aftermath, noting that the injury took place on her last night of shooting, making the timing all the more heartbreaking.
Reflecting on the incident, Wilson explained that the accident happened during a rehearsal of the movie’s final fight sequence. The weapon was unintentionally swung at her face, causing a deep gash that could have left permanent damage had it not been for prompt medical intervention. She described the frightening ordeal of being rushed to the hospital in an ambulance and undergoing emergency stitching by a plastic surgeon, who helped preserve the integrity of her face. Now, she says, the scars are nearly invisible, but the trauma of that night lingers in her memory.
Despite the mishap, Wilson remains focused on the excitement surrounding Bride Hard, a high-octane action-comedy directed by Simon West. In the film, Wilson plays Sam, an undercover secret agent who must balance her covert mission with bridesmaid responsibilities during her best friend’s wedding. The plot promises intense action and humor as her character is forced to shift gears from cake-cutting to combat, unleashing chaos on anyone threatening the big day. Starring alongside Wilson are Anna Camp, Anna Chlumsky, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Gigi Zumbado, Sherry Cola, and Stephen Dorff, making for a dynamic ensemble in what’s shaping up to be one of the most buzzed-about releases in Rebel Wilson’s career.
