Rebel Wilson's Near-Disaster: Emergency Surgery After 'Freak Accident' on Set!

Rebel Wilson's Hair-Raising On-Set Accident: "I Could Have Been Permanently Disfigured!"

TheScholarlyNote.com has just gotten wind of a shocking on-set mishap involving none other than Aussie actress Rebel Wilson! The 45-year-old star, known for her hilarious roles in Pitch Perfect and Bridesmaids, revealed that she was left reeling after a freak accident on the set of her new action-comedy film, Bride Hard.

In a jaw-dropping interview with Access Hollywood, Rebel shared the harrowing tale of how she got smacked in the nose during a dramatic fight scene on the last day of shooting. The result? A "pool of blood" and a nasty cut that could have left her face "permanently disfigured" if not for swift medical attention.

"It was just a freak accident," Rebel explained, still shaken by the experience. "A gun accidentally got whacked across my face... It was weirdly my last night of shooting. I was like, 'How unlucky can I be?'"

TheScholarlyNote.com has learned that Rebel was rushed to see a plastic surgeon who stitched her up mere hours after the incident. The actress admitted she was "freaking out" at the time, but thankfully, medical professionals were on hand to prevent any long-term damage.

Bride Hard, which hits theaters on June 20, follows Rebel's character, secret agent Sam, as she serves as maid of honor at her childhood best friend's lavish wedding - only for it to be taken hostage by mercenaries! The film also stars Anna Camp, Da'Vine Joy Randolph, Gigi Zumbado, Stephen Dorff, and Justin Hartley.

In a separate interview with the Today show, Rebel gushed about her role in the action-packed comedy. "There's so much comedy in this, but there's also so much action... I kick butt... it was hardcore!"

But what's even more impressive is that Rebel did all of her own stunts in the film - without the need for a stunt double! It seems she drew on some hidden skills from her youth, when she dabbled in karate. "I did a bit of karate back in the day when I was younger... at one point when I was 18 and I was a complete idiot, I went in at an all-star martial arts fighting competition and then I got punched in the face and I thought fighting isn't for me."

Fast-forward to Bride Hard, where Rebel proved she's still got it! "It was really fun," she beamed. "I do all the fights in this movie and fight off the mercenaries who come to attack the wedding."

In related news, Rebel has been spotted out and about in New York City, flaunting her toned physique in a bright red jumpsuit with a V-neck design and retro boxy shoulders. She accessorized with matching pointed heels and a raspberry lip stain.

The actress recently took to social media to share her latest eating tip as part of her "health challenge." With just one week left, Rebel revealed she's shed 1kg over the past five weeks by cutting out chocolate and ice cream from her diet.

She posted a selfie showcasing her healthy evening meal - chicken breast and salad. Will she reach her goal? Only time will tell!
