Overview

  • On the final night of filming, Wilson says a prop gun struck her face, splitting her nose and creating a “pool of blood” that required ambulance transport
  • Medics called in a plastic surgeon to stitch her wounds on site, a procedure she credits with preventing permanent disfigurement
  • Wilson trained for five weeks to perform her own fight sequences and stunts in full wedding attire, including corsets and bridal gowns
  • Bride Hard, directed by Simon West, opened June 20 as an action-comedy about a secret agent maid of honor rescuing hostages at her best friend’s wedding
  • Despite negative reviews that criticized its script and execution, Wilson continues press appearances to emphasize her stunt work and on-set ordeal
