Blake Livelyhad one gnarly injury on the set of her new action filmThe Rhythm Section.
“We were doing all of our own stunts. One-shot fight sequences, which is how I shattered my hand,” Lively, 32, explained. “We shut down for six months. My hand basically turned to feta cheese.”
She continued, “I was lunging towards Jude Law with my fake rubber knife and my hand collided with his elbow and I broke some things, dislocated some things and severed a ligament. It was pretty intense. But that’s why you guys have to see this movie, out of sheer guilt. I gave my right hand for something!”
Lively poked fun at herself for the injury in a video she shared on her Instagram Stories last month. The funny clip showed her lying in a hospital bed with her arm in a sling after she was injured in December 2017.
“Literally 4 weeks after I said, ‘I’d give my right hand to be in this movie!’ (Good thing no one told me to ‘break a leg’),” Lively wrote.
“My husband somehow knew ‘Wild Thing’ would be my version of smelling salts. I’ve never felt so seen. Or high,” she wrote. “Also… I have zero recollection of this.”
TheRhythm Sectionis a modern adaptation of the first of British thriller writer Mark Burnell’s Stephanie Patrick series.
