'In a fight scene, a gun accidentally got whacked across my face,' Wilson said. 'It was just a freak accident, and my nose got split open, so I left set. It was really my last night of shooting. I was like, 'How unlucky can I be?''
The incident occurred during 'the last fight sequence' on the schedule, and resulted in a 'pool of blood.'
'I was freaking out,' she added. '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, really, you can't tell.'
Wilson isn't the only celebrity who has opened up about a recent on-set mishap.

Charlize Theron revealed that while filming her latest action-packed project, 'Apex,' she sustained a painful injury after doing some of her own dangerous stunt work —without protective equipment.
'Our crew delivered a really impressive movie, and yours truly did some stunts and action — without a harness, sometimes,' Theron said at Netflix's 2025 upfront presentation earlier this week, according to Entertainment Weekly. 'Don't tell Netflix.'

'It's actually a miracle that I'm here today,' she noted.

The 'Mad Max: Fury Road' actress continued to detail the risks involved while she worked on her physically demanding role.
'Apex only wrapped like a week ago, so I'm fresh off the mountain. I still have some Australian dirt under this pretty manicure, and my cute boot is hiding a fractured toe . . . I can go on and on and on, but I won't.'

Despite the physical toll, Theron, 49, remained in good spirits as she recovered.
'I can honestly say that shooting 'Apex' was one of the most incredible experiences of my life,' she added.

‘Elio' review: Pixar goes sweet and simple for its original outer space adventure
movie review ELIO Running time: 99 minutes. Rated PG (some action/peril and thematic elements). In theaters June 20. Like the 11-year-old title character of 'Elio,' Pixar's latest original is small and cute. Nothing wrong with that. Advertisement It's time to accept that gone are the days of 'WALL-E,' 'Up' and 'Ratatouille,' when the Disney-owned animation studio had a stratospherically imaginative and artful vision that once put it firmly in the Best Picture conversation. Now that the bouncing lamp's bulb is dimming, they're pumping out modest, but nonetheless charming movies such as 'Onward,' 'Luca' and 'Elio.' The new one is more likable than blobby 'Elemental' or pointless 'Lightyear' were. 'Inside Out 2' sure felt like a '2.' ET won't phone home about it, but 'Elio' is a nice, frequently rewarding 100 minutes. Advertisement There's a simple focus on feeling in the outer-space tearjerker about a lonely orphan boy who dreams of being abducted by aliens so he can finally make friends. Staring up at the stars is a powerful, timeless idea. Good enough for Galileo. 3 In Pixar's 'Elio,' a boy dreams of traveling to outer space to make friends. AP 'Is life really out there?' Elio asks his Aunt Olga (Zoe Saldaña), an orbital analyst who works on a military base while raising her nephew, after he stumbles into a museum exhibit about the Voyager satellite. Lost and confused, he becomes obsessed with finding extraterrestrials. Advertisement One night, they find him. He's beamed up to a kind of United Nations of species — called the Communiverse — and they ask Elio to become Earth's representative, believing him to be the leader of the third rock from the sun. A couple of the aliens, an effete beetle dweeb and a ballet-dancing dragon, are cloying. I wanted Will Smith to come and punch them — a la 'Independence Day,' not the Oscars. The space station looks like a Las Vegas hotel built by a narcissistic jellyfish. 3 When he arrives, a group of aliens believe he's the leader of Earth. AP The story of mistaken identities is basically a kid-friendly 'Galaxy Quest.' Elio desperately wants to join the intergalactic club, but they'll only make him a member if he can talk scary Lord Grigon (Brad Garrett), the chief of a warrior species, out of attacking the Communiverse. Advertisement Plenty of familiar bases are covered: Making your dad proud, the true meaning of family, friendship, purpose and courage, among others. In the final scene, Pixar forces us — effectively — to cry like a boot camp officer. Beyond the requisite lessons, there are some witty touches. A subplot involving a creepy Elio clone nods to the horror genre in a funny way for adults. And the twist with Grigon and his slug son Glordon is smart. 3 Elio finds a pal in wormy Glordon. AP During one bizarre montage, I'm pretty sure the 11-year-old and his friend Glordon go on a booze-soaked bender around the Communiverse and hurl into a hedge. But the drink is called 'glorg,' so who's to say what the alcohol content is? Elio travels lightyears away from home, and 'Elio' lands comfortably in the middle of the Pixar pack.

Tyler Perry sued for $260 million over alleged sexual assault by ‘The Oval' actor
Tyler Perry has been accused of alleged sexual assault by an actor from his popular TV series 'The Oval,' The Post can confirm. According to court documents obtained by The Post, actor Derek Dixon sued Perry, 55, for alleged sexual assault and sexual harassment in a lawsuit filed with the Superior Court of California in Los Angeles on June 13. Dixon claimed that Perry 'took his success and power and used his considerable influence in the entertainment industry to create a coercive, sexually exploitative dynamic with' the actor. 11 Tyler Perry has been accused of sexual assault by an actor from his popular TV series 'The Oval.' Netflix 11 Actor Derek Dixon sued Perry for sexual assault and sexual harassment in a lawsuit filed with the Superior Court of California in Los Angeles on June 13. Instagram/derek_dixon When Dixon did not reciprocate Perry's alleged advances, he claimed the media mogul purportedly began to 'subject him to escalating sexual harassment, assault and battery, and professional retaliation,' per the lawsuit. Dixon claimed that he first met the 'Diary of a Mad Black Woman' creator at an event in 2019 and that Perry 'picked' him 'out of a crowd' and later asked for his phone number while suggesting that he might have a role for the actor. Perry then cast Dixon in two episodes of his BET+ series 'Ruthless.' 11 Perry has denied the allegations against him. Getty Images 'Perry said it was a small role that could get a lot bigger, thereby setting up the first stage in a series of escalating quid pro quo offers,' Dixon alleged in the lawsuit. In January 2020, the 'House of Payne' producer allegedly invited Dixon to his home in Douglasville County, Ga. Although Dixon hoped 'that he would be given a chance to befriend Perry and show him how talented an actor' he was, Dixon claimed that he was allegedly 'served many alcoholic drinks' and convinced to spend the night at the mogul's home. 11 Besides his many accusations against Perry, Dixon also included several years' worth of alleged text message exchanges between him and the 'Madea' creator in his lawsuit. 11 A screenshot of an alleged text message between Perry and his accuser. 11 According to the lawsuit, Perry allegedly wrote that he was 'jealous' seeing Dixon with other men. 'At the end of the night, Perry told Dixon not to drive home,' the lawsuit read. 'Perry said it was dangerous and that Dixon was too 'inebriated' to drive home. Dixon agreed and was escorted to a separate guest room, not knowing that this was a ruse to allow Perry to assault Dixon.' 'Dixon was tired and did not have pajamas and so he got into bed only wearing underwear,' the complaint continued. 'Before he knew what was happening, Dixon felt someone else slip into bed behind him and start rubbing Dixon's body around his inner thigh in a highly sexual and suggestive manner. Dixon turned around and saw that Tyler Perry was in bed with him.' Shortly after the alleged incident, Perry cast Dixon in 'The Oval' and allegedly told the actor to quit his other job as an event staffer because 'Perry was not able to control Dixon so long as Dixon had a secondary income that was providing for his basic needs.' 11 Another screenshot of an alleged text message between Perry and his accuser. 11 A third screenshot of an alleged text message exchange been Perry and Dixon regarding the latter's role as Dale in 'The Oval.' Dixon claimed his role as Dale in 'The Oval' was 'written as a gay, homeless, and desperate store clerk' who was forced to 'sleep with one of the other characters for a place to stay' because that was what Perry was allegedly looking for in a real-life partner. The most shocking accusation allegedly unfolded in June 2021 when Dixon claimed he was almost raped by Perry while once again visiting the entertainment mogul's Georgia home. He alleged that Perry pulled down his underwear and groped his butt after asking for a 'good night' hug. 11 Dixon compared Perry to Harvey Weinstein, Bill Cosby, and 'many others in the industry' who have faced similar accusations. Instagram/derek_dixon 'Rather than arguing, Dixon complied, at which point Perry reached out and yanked Dixon's underwear down from behind,' the claims in the lawsuit stated. 'Perry then began to vigorously grab, grope, and play with Dixon's buttocks in a sexual manner. Dixon was naked, stunned and seized by tremendous fear.' 'Dixon started to tell Perry that he 'did not want [his] underwear down,' that Dixon 'didn't want to be naked,' and that Dixon 'didn't want this,'' the lawsuit continued. 'Dixon quickly reached to pull his underwear back up. As soon as he did, Perry grabbed Dixon's reaching arm with a tight grip and held fast.' According to the court documents, Dixon was able to distract Perry and change the subject before the alleged incident went any further. 11 Perry's lawyer has called Dixon's lawsuit a 'scam.' Getty Images for BET Dixon ultimately filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in or around June 2024 before quitting 'The Oval' because of the alleged sexual harassment, per the lawsuit. Besides his many accusations against Perry, Dixon also included several years' worth of alleged text message exchanges between him and the 'Madea' creator in his filing. Dixon is suing Perry and Tyler Perry Studios for quid pro quo sexual harassment, work environment harassment, sexual harassment, workplace gender violence, sexual battery, sexual assault, retaliation, and more. 11 Dixon is seeking $260 million in damages from Perry. A.M.P.A.S. via Getty Images He is also seeking $260 million in damages. 'Just like Harvey Weinstein, Bill Cosby, R. Kelly, Sean 'P-Diddy' Combs, Kevin Spacey, Roger Ailes, and many others in the industry, Mr. Perry's success has led him to believe that money and influence can get him whatever he wants,' Dixon wrote in his lawsuit. 'That belief slowly transformed into the false idea that Mr. Perry can get whomever he wants,' he added. 'There are things in life that money cannot buy.' Perry's attorney, Matthew Boyd, denied the claims, telling The Post, 'This is an individual who got close to Tyler Perry for what now appears to be nothing more than setting up a scam. But Tyler will not be shaken down and we are confident these fabricated claims of harassment will fail.'
