Rebel Wilson forced to undergo emergency surgery after 'freak accident' on set
Pitch Perfect star Rebel Wilson revealed she had to undergo emergency surgery after she was 'whacked across the face' on a movie set
Rebel Wilson was forced to undergo emergency surgery after a 'freak accident' happened on set of her new film, Bride Hard. The 45-year-old Australian star's accident was almost left 'permanently disfigured' after she got 'whacked across the face' while filming a dramatic fight scene on her last day of shooting.
She revealed she rushed to see a plastic surgeon after the prop gun smacked her across the face. Luckily, the surgeon stitched her up and "you can't tell" anything ever happened. In a recent chat, she revealed: "A gun accidentally got whacked across my face. It was just a freak accident, and my nose got split open, so I left set."
Speaking to Access Hollywood, Rebel continued: "It was weirdly my last night of shooting. I was like, 'How unlucky can I be?' I was freaking out.
"They take an ambulance, and they have to call a plastic surgeon, because if they didn't, I would have been permanently disfigured. So, we got the plastic surgeon, they did all the stitches, and you can't tell now."
In the upcoming action-comedy movie, Bride Hard, Rebel plays a secret agent named Sam alongside fellow Pitch Perfect actress Anna Camp.
Rebel previously talked about the movie during an appearance on the Today Show, which is due to be released on June 20. "There's so much comedy in this, but there's also so much action," she said. "I kick butt… it was hardcore."
The actor did all her own stunts in the movie, revealing she did a "bit of a karate" when she was younger. Rebel said: "And 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.
"But maybe I had some muscle memory left because I do all the fights in this movie and fight off the mercenaries who come to attack the wedding. It was really fun."
Other stars in the movie include Anna Chlumsky, Da'Vine Joy Randolph, Gigi Zumbado, Stephen Dorff, Justin Hartley and Sherry Cola.
Bride Hard has Rebel playing a secret agent who serves as the maid of honour at her childhood best friend's fancy wedding, which is suddenly taken hostage by mercenaries.
It comes after Rebel revealed she had second thoughts about her daughter's name. She welcomed her only child in November 2022, and shared that the unique moniker may have been a mistake for one hilarious reason.
Actress Rebel welcomed daughter Royce Lillian via surrogate as a single mum, after making the decision to freeze her eggs as she approached turning 40.
While Royce has an unforgettable name, Rebel revealed that as her daughter grows, she might be fitting the title all too well. The star is set to appear on The Jonathan Ross Show this weekend, and told that ITV host that the big name is giving Royce a big personality.
"Her name is Royce. I probably shouldn't have named her after a British luxury car brand, she's a bit high maintenance,' Rebel jokingly shared, confirming the connection to fancy Rolls-Royce wheels.

Machine Gun Kelly shares baby's name as he thanks Megan Fox for 'ultimate gift'
Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox, who split last year, welcomed their first child together earlier this year. MGK recently shared the baby's name with fans Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox welcomed their first child in March, a mere few months after they went their separate ways. The Transformers icon, 39, gave birth to their daughter amid claims the two were 'barely speaking', with sources at the time claiming things were over for them for good. MGK proudly announced the arrival of his daughter in March and shared an adorable video of their daughter alongside a heartfelt song to share the big news. He wrote: "She's finally here! ! Our little Celestial Seed. 3/27/25." MGK and Megan met for the first time on the set of Midnight in the Switchgrass, the 2021 crime thriller film. In a recent post shared this week, Machine Gun Kelly - real name Colson Baker - filmed a video of himself playing with the newborn baby, named Saga Blade Fox-Baker. He captioned the sweet video: "Saga Blade Fox-Baker [heart emoji] thank you for the ultimate gift @meganfox," with a heart on fire emoji. The star, dressed in yellow trousers and a striped shirt, was sitting on the couch and said: "You ready?" before playing the ukulele for baby Saga. Last month, MGK ditched the American Music Awards to support his former partner when she fell ill with "a little bit of a fever". In a rare update, MGK told reporters that he was going to walk the carpet and quickly head off to be with his family, before sweetly stating that it was his 'purpose' to be a dad. Speaking to E News on the red carpet, the Bloody Valentine singer said: 'She has a little bit of a fever, so I'm gonna walk the carpet and go back, y'know, handle my business, give her my pheromones and let her heal up'. Giving a further rare insight into his life as a dad to a newborn, Kelly told Access Hollywood reporters: 'When Pete was texting me one night, he was making me laugh so hard and it woke my baby up, and waking a newborn up is just not the vibe'. When asked what life is like with a newborn, MGK said: 'It's just so elated, it's just awesome, they smell so good, y'know, I was just meant to be a dad.' Speaking about his first daughter, Casie Colson Baker, who he shares with his ex Emma Cannon, MGK said: 'She's a great big sister yeah, she's able to calm her down. She just worked her first job. "I'm a very proud dad, a lot of good things happening with my kids'.

Love Island fans predict the boys will 'go feral' in Casa Amor as chaos continues in the ITV villa: 'This is how they're acting after just one week!'
Love Island fans are predicting the boys will 'crash out' and 'go feral' in Casa Amor. The 2025 series only began on June 9, but it's already delivered explosive drama, from fiery arguments to steamy nights together. Tuesday night's episode saw talk of threesomes and the second couple heading for alone time in the hideaway. Despite it still being early days in the villa, viewers are all saying the same thing - Casa Amor is going to be chaos. Taking to X, formerly Twitter, they penned: 'I can already see who's going to crash out during casa amor. 'These boys will be FERAL in casa amor,' The ITV show kicked off on June 9 and the 2025 cast has already delivered some huge drama full of bust ups and make ups 'The mess this villa is going to be in when Casa Amor comes back,' 'The state of the villa casa amor is going to be incredible,' 'Just imagine what the casa amor episodes are gonna give,' 'IDK i feel like conor will be the 'respectful' boy until we hit casa amor.' It comes fans were left in shock during Monday's show when 'hypocritical' Harry confessed to having an orgy with an entire women's football team. Viewers saw the return of the Got The Receipts challenge that sees contestants slide down a conveyor belt, swipe their card and pick up a receipt, which reveals a fact about an Islander of the opposite sex. They then have to decide who they think the fact is about and kiss their chosen person, before finding out if they got it right. One receipt read: 'This boy has had an orgy with an entire women's football team.' Despite it still being early days in the villa, fans are all saying the same thing as Casa Amor looms The culprit was revealed to be Harry, with the girls exclaiming: 'It's Harry! I'm not sure we should be clapping for that.' Viewers at home were equally as shocked at the confession and slammed his 'double standards' on X. They shared: 'Harry is just a big gigantic red flag!!!'; 'And if I say Harry made that up because I can't see 11 women sleeping with him'; 'Harry is such a hypocrite?? Judging Helena for being a 'party girl' yet he has had an orgy with an entire football team?? What else is harry hiding? He is 10x worse yet degrading Helena?? The men this year are horrible'; ''The whole women's team' ok Harry someone's telling fibs'; 'Harry's acting like this and he's…thirty?'; 'Love Island just shows the double standards women face on a daily basis. Harry was judging Helena for being a bit freaky meanwhile he's slept with a whole football team.' The challenge took a disastrous turn as the boys cooked up an outrageous game plan which instantly backfired. Ben thought that Helena was the girl that was caught with handcuffs in her case while travelling, and Conor though that Toni picked up the phone while getting down and dirty because of a job. However, three of the boys decided to play their own game within the game. The rest of the group had no idea that Harry, Dejon, and Shea had got together and agreed that they would lock lips with the girl they fancied, rather than who they though the fact was about. But later on in the episode their secret plan was revealed after Tommy pointed out that they all kissed someone that they were attracted to. Harry told him: 'We were all like, boys lets just forget the question and just say who you wanna kiss - so Shea was like I wanna kiss Megan, when he read it out, me and D said, 'That's Megan!'' Tommy replied: 'Oh my God, f****ng hell! What do you think will happen tonight then? That will all come out?' The landscape gardener then decided to share the information with his girl Megan. She confessed: 'We f***ing knew it!' Tommy continued: 'Shea said, 'When it's my turn say Megan' - I think that's out of order. I don't like confrontation, but I will stand up for what's right.'

Rebel Wilson saved by plastic surgeon from 'disfigurement' after on set accident
Rebel Wilson has revealed she was rushed to hospital while filming her new comedy Bride Hard after a gun was 'whacked' across her face. The 45-year-old actress – who portrays a secret agent named Sam in the upcoming action movie – was smacked in the face by a gun during her final night of filming, leaving her surrounded by a 'pool of blood'. 'In a fight scene, a gun accidentally got whacked across my face,' she told Access Hollywood. 'It was just a freak accident, and my nose got split open, so I left set. It was my last night of shooting. I was like, 'How unlucky can I be?'' Medics on set were quick to tend to her injury and Rebel – who has two-year-old daughter Royce with wife Ramona Agruma – was rushed off to hospital to have the wound treated. She recalled: 'I was freaking out. They take an ambulance and they have to call a plastic surgeon, because if they didn't, I would have been permanently disfigured. So we got the plastic surgeon, they did all the stitches, and you can't tell now.' Anna Camp also stars in Bride Ways, and Rebel was delighted to reunite with her Pitch Perfect co-star because they have been 'friends for 14 years'. She said: 'When I got this project and [saw] there was a girl's squad in it, I immediately thought of Anna to play in it. 'She's so versatile of an actress, she could've played any of the roles. But Anna gravitated towards the best friend role.' The film, set to be released on June 20, follows a wedding party as they are held hostage by a mercenary group. However, unbeknownst to them Rebel's character Sam is a secret agent ready to protect her best friend's special day at all costs. The Bridesmaids star revealed she'd been injured at the time of filming Bride Hard back in August 2023. More Trending Alongside a photo of her painful-looking injury, Rebel wrote on her Instagram Story: 'NOT the way I wanted to end this movie! 3 stitches and in hospital last night after a stunt accident at 4am. (sic)' Rebel later confirmed the wound was healing well as she thanked fans for their messages of support. She said in a follow-up video: '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.' Got a story?
