    Rebel Wilson was almost "permanently disfigured" following a "freak accident" while filming Bride Hard

    The 45-year-old actress - who portrays a secret agent named Sam in the upcoming action comedy - was smacked in the face by a gun during her final night of filming, leaving her surrounded by a "pool of blood"


    She told Access Hollywood: "In a fight scene, a gun accidentally got whacked across my face.

    "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 and she is grateful she hasn't suffered permanent scarring.

    She continued: "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 Bridesmaids star revealed she'd been injured at the time of filming Bride Hard back in August 2023.

    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."
