Anne Hathaway sustains gruesome injury on set of Get Smart

Anne Hathaway has had a nasty accident while filming a scene on her new movie Get Smart. The injury was gruesome; she cut her shin bones while performing a stunt. The scene that Hathaway was filming for Get Smart required her to film her own stunt, but things went a little wrong and the actress hit her legs on a metal bar, the wounds were very deep and her shin bones were exposed. Anne the constant professional refused to let the injury stop her completing the scene, but movie bosses had to step in and force her not to carry on, so filming was cut short.

Hathaway said “We were doing a scene where I had to kick a Russian spy in the chest. And as I lifted my knees up to my chest to kick, I hit a bar that shouldn’t have been there,” she then added “My shin split open and I had to have 15 stitches, I tried not to wimp out but I could see my shinbones. So I turned to the director and said, ‘If I could have Extra Strength Tylenol (pain killer), I could probably do the shot. ” Anne then went on to say “The script supervisor, my dresser and my make-up artist all said to me, ‘You get a plastic surgeon to sew up your legs. And you finish work right now.’ I was trying to continue but in that one I was overruled”.
