Rebel Wilson looks poised and ready to fight at the premiere of her action film Bride Hard after freak accident on set left her needing a nose job
Rebel Wilson looked poised and ready to fight at the Los Angeles premiere of her action Bride Hard.
The Pitch Perfect actress, 45, stars as a maid of honour in the film - where a mercenary group hold a wedding hostage but it turns out Rebel's character is a secret agent.
The action film is full of stunts, many of which were carried out by Rebel's stunt double Meredith Richardson.
However Rebel was caught up in a 'freak accident' on set which saw her face almost 'permanently disfigured' with the star needing surgery on her nose.
Seemingly recovered, Rebel stepped out for the Los Angeles premiere of the film, which also stars her Pitch Perfect co-star Anna Camp, at the DGA Theater Complex on Wednesday.
Rebel showed off her trim figure in a striking bright red gown featuring a plunging neckline and shoulder pads as she walked the red carpet.
She was joined by You star Anna, who who looked glamorous in a mint green sleeveless sequin gown.
Also in attendance were their co-stars Anna Chlumsky, Gigi Zumbado Justin Hartley and Sherry Cola.
Rebel recently revealed she was caught up in a 'freak accident' on the set of her new film Bride Hard that almost left her face 'permanently disfigured.'
The actress explained that she got smacked in the nose in a dramatic fight scene on the last day of shooting, which left a 'pool of blood.'
Luckily, Rebel was quickly sent to see a plastic surgeon who stitched her up.
'A gun accidentally got whacked across my face,' Rebel shared in a recent interview. 'It was just a freak accident, and my nose got split open, so I left set.
'It was weirdly my last night of shooting. I was like, "How unlucky can I be?"'
Speaking to Access Hollywood, 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.'
Rebel plays a secret agent named Sam in the upcoming action-comedy film alongside fellow Pitch Perfect star Anna.
Directed by Simon West and written by Shaina Steinberg, the movie follows Sam (Wilson) as she serves as the maid of honor at her childhood best friend's lavish wedding, which is taken hostage by mercenaries.
Anna Chlumsky, Da'Vine Joy Randolph, Gigi Zumbado, Stephen Dorff, and Justin Hartley also star.
'There's so much comedy in this, but there's also so much action,' Rebel told Savannah Guthrie during an appearance on the Today show of the film, which is set for release on June 20.
'I kick butt… it was hardcore.'
Rebel went on to add that she did all the stunts in the movie herself, without the need for a stunt double.
'I did a bit of karate back in the day when I was younger, 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,' she continued.
'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.'
Rebel was spotted out and about in New York on June 16. In paparazzi photos she flaunted her trimmed-down figure in a bright red jumpsuit with a V-neck design and retro boxy shoulders.
The flattering garment was tied at the waist with a matching fabric belt and Rebel added a pair of pointed red heels.
She coordinated her makeup to her look with a raspberry lip stain and a warm rosy blush and wore her blonde hair down in soft mermaid waves and largely skipped the accessories.
The actress recently posted to social media to share her latest eating tip as she entered the last week of her 'health challenge'.
At that time, Rebel said she had shed 1kg over five weeks after cutting chocolate and ice cream from her diet.

Meghan launches new jams and £20 orange blossom honey in website restock
Meghan had promised some 'delicious surprises' as she teased, earlier this week, that she would be offering some new products on her As Ever site. Also available are an apricot spread in 'keepsake packaging' and a crepe mix, both £10 each, flower sprinkles for £11 and a range of herbal teas at £9 each. In an Instagram post at the same time as the new products went live, the California-based duchess wrote: 'Yummies, and honeys, and fruit spreads, oh my!' Meghan previously said the April launch of her As Ever products, including jam and herbal tea, had been 'absolutely extraordinary'. But she also spoke of her fear that she annoyed customers when the first batch of her jam and herbal teas sold out in less than an hour. She said wanted to wait until it is 'completely stable and we have everything we need'. In the run-up to her re-stock, Meghan shared a photo of jam-making preparations including bowls of strawberries, raspberries and blueberries, and freshly squeezed lemons, on her Instagram stories, writing: ''June gloom?' Not over here! Because this month your favourite products are back.' Her official As Ever account also posted: 'To all who've been wondering and waiting, thank you! 'Your favourites are returning, plus a few NEW things we can't wait to show you. Coming this month … get excited!'
