Wrestling ain’t easy, as a Hollywood star found out. During the filming of her new show Margo’s Got Money Troubles, Nicole Kidman was taken to the hospital after filming a pro-wrestling sequence. Kidman portrays a former wrestler names Lace.
“We’re there in the morning. We’re getting warmed up, some of us are going to be performing some actual wrestling and so we have our doubles, we have people we’re working with,” Nick Offerman who plays Jinx Millet on the show told People Magazine. “The word comes in that Nicole has the flu and we might not get Nicole today. And we’re like, ‘Oh no, that’s such a bummer, because we only have the one day that we’ve built this whole circus for.’”
Kidman did show up and powered through her wrestling scenes.
She was left so drained though she was taken to hospital immediately afterwards.
“It was so generous. It was astonishing,” Oferman said. “And I just said to her, I already admired you so much, but this is how you get to be Nicole Kidman, is you show up so that your show doesn’t lose a minute of your value.”
Kidman did admit she was afraid of being injured.
“I would love to do more wrestling. When I got in the ring, I just went, ‘OK, let’s go,’ ‘cause whenever I do something, I go, ‘OK, I’ve gotta be really careful,’ and then I just forget about any sort of protection in my body, and I go crazy. I was so scared about getting injured,” she said
The show also stars Chris Jericho as himself. Margo’s Got Money Troubles is currently airing on Apple TV.
