Rebel Wilson is healing after a "stunt accident" left her with stitches. On Wednesday, August 9th, the actress took to Instagram to update her follower on what happened and how she's recovering.
"Hey everybody, what’s up?” Wilson said in a video shared to her Instagram Stories, showing off a wound on her nose. "So I just wanted to say thank you for all your well wishes. I’ve actually been healing quite amazing. The stitches have dissolved out from my on-set accident last week." She went on to explain, "I was shooting an independent movie in Savannah, Georgia [an action film called Bride Hard]. In the middle of a night shoot, my last scene of the movie, so I’d done all these kick-ass fight sequences and then just in the last one I got hit in the face with the butt of a gun."
Wilson added, "So it was a complete accident and was such a shock. But luckily I’m healing very well, so I wanted to say thank you for everybody’s well wishes. I hopefully will be totally, totally fine... all good so thanks everybody," she concluded her message.
According to People, the Pitch Perfect star revealed the injury on her Instagram Story last week and the selfie showed off her bloody and swollen nose. "NOT the way I wanted to end this movie! 3 stitches and in hospital last night after a stunt accident at 4am 😢," she wrote alongside the photo. Wilson's new project has been able to continue filming amid the SAG-AFTRA actors strike because it's an independent film.
