Rebel Wilson's Thrilling Recovery: From Emergency Surgery to Action-Packed Premiere!

Rebel Wilson looked poised and ready to fight at the Los Angeles premiere of her action Bride Hard on Wednesday

SCANDALOUS SENSATIONS: Rebel Wilson's Hair-Raising Near-Disaster on Bride Hard Set!

Los Angeles, USA - The usually unflappable Rebel Wilson was left shaken and stirred after a freak accident on the set of her latest film, Bride Hard. The 45-year-old Pitch Perfect star, who plays a secret agent in the action-comedy, almost lost her nose permanently when a gun went off in a dramatic fight scene.

The Aussie actress revealed to Access Hollywood that she was caught up in the chaos as she tried to save the day as her character Sam, a mercenary group's worst nightmare. "A gun accidentally got whacked across my face," Rebel recalled with a shudder. "It was just a freak accident, and my nose got split open... I left set."

The Pitch Perfect actress, 45, stars as a maid of honour in the film - where a mercenary group hold a wedding hostage but it turns out Rebel's character is a secret agent

Luckily, Rebel was whisked away to see a plastic surgeon who stitched her up in time for the film's release on June 20. The star's dramatic injury has sparked concerns about the production company's safety record, but Rebel remains tight-lipped.

The Bride Hard premiere at the DGA Theater Complex in Los Angeles saw Rebel turning heads in a stunning bright red gown with a plunging neckline and shoulder pads, looking every inch the confident superstar she is. Her co-star Anna Camp, who plays a mysterious beauty in the film, shone in a mint green sequin gown.

Also in attendance were You star Anna Chlumsky, Gigi Zumbado, Justin Hartley, and Sherry Cola - all of whom have been praising Rebel's impressive action skills on set. The actress revealed that she did all her own stunts, sans double, and even used some of her old karate moves to take down the mercenaries.

"It was really fun," Rebel gushed to Savannah Guthrie on the Today show. "I kick butt... it was hardcore." But beneath the bravado lies a hint of vulnerability - Rebel's brush with disaster has left her shaken. "I was freaking out," she admitted. "They take an ambulance, and they have to call a plastic surgeon, because if they didn't, I would have been permanently disfigured."

In related news, Rebel recently posted on social media about her latest health challenge - shedding 1kg over five weeks by cutting out chocolate and ice cream from her diet. Her "healthy" evening meal consists of chicken breast and salad, a far cry from the indulgent treats that usually line her plate.

As the Bride Hard hype train chugs along, fans are eagerly anticipating Rebel's return to the big screen as Sam - a secret agent with a penchant for kicking butt. With her trademark wit and charm, Rebel is sure to leave them in stitches... or worse, totally blown away by her impressive action chops!
