”I did have a massive injury on this movie,” Wilson shared in an interview alongside Camp with Access Hollywood.

“In a fight scene, a gun accidentally got whacked across my face. It was just a freak accident, and my nose got split open, so I left set.

“It was really my last night of shooting. I was like, ‘How unlucky can I be?'”

The actress said the incident left her in “a pool of blood” explaining, “If anyone has had a facial injury, they know, there’s so much blood”.

“I was freaking out,” Wilson continued.

“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, really, you can’t tell.”

Wilson and Camp appear in the film along with a star-studded line up including Anna Chlumsky, Da’Vine Joy Randolph and Justin Hartley.
