Rosie Huntington-Whiteley’s Protective Boyfriend
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Dating,
The Victoria's Secret beauty loved working on the action movie, but her actor boyfriend was so worried about her, he insisted she took proper precautions. "I loved doing all the stunts. My stunt double had a very quiet six months. Jason was filming in Australia at the time and he said, 'Babe, you've got to wear stunt pads.' I was covered head-to-toe in bruises and about a week later a little package arrived with razor-thin gel stunt pads. That's quite romantic."
Rosie also revealed she was bullied at school but has put it behind her thanks to her successful career. "I got a little bit of a hard time, but who didn't? I got teased. I was tiny at school. I was the shortest at school until I was about 14, so I got called Titch and I was rather flat chested. I was flat chested and had big lips so a lot of the boys at school called me t**lips. I used to say: 'You know what, I'll make money from these lips one way or another, boys,'" she explained.

Stunts Led Rose McGowan to Extensive Surgery
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies,
While she may have lost a leg on screen, Rose McGowan has now lost the use of her arm after too many fight scenes off screen.
The Red Sonja actress, whose action-movie credits also include Scream and Grindhouse, has revealed that starring in extensive stunt sequences caused elbow and wrist damage which could only be treated with extensive surgery.
“I had wrist and elbow surgery and they took part of my elbow out. I had really bad nerve damage from doing stunts—I do a lot of my own stunts. I could no longer use my arm, but now I can hold a fork and drive so we’re working our way up. It’ll probably be another six months of rehab, but it’s the price you pay for being really limber and being able to do back flips!”
The 36-year-old star’s injury has brought a halt to production of comic book adaptation Red Sonja, in which she plays the title character who is described as a “she-devil with a sword,” but she is hopeful to return to set soon.
