Ruby Rose Describes All the Pain She Went Through While Shooting Batwoman


Batwoman star Ruby Rose has been through a lot lately and we don't mean the usual online harassment she's gotten since joining The CW's latest DC project. Rose recently appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and revealed that her action-packed lifestyle has taken a toll on her, even almost paralyzing the poor lady. It's a number of things some people would wish on their worst enemy and then some.

Speaking with Fallon, Rose revealed some of the injuries she sustained while doing a couple of stunts. The fact that she does some of them herself should get her some respect and these injuries will make even her biggest hater feel bad for her. Apparently, she damaged her neck big time during a shoot for the series, which might make a lot of people uncomfortable.

Here's what Rose had to say:

"So I did a stunt for a very (long) time, for about seven hours. And we thought that I broke a rib, just fractured a rib, with like six to twelve weeks of healing. Then I had six more weeks of chronic pain…until the doctors were like, ‘It's your neck, it's your neck,' it just radiates into these places full of nerve endings. So, finally, I got an MRI – I did it in Romania, in the middle of a film, where I was also doing stunts. [The doctor] basically called me and was like, ‘You could become paraplegic. This is your spine, two of your discs have herniated, and they've broken all of the protective layers. You have this tiny amount that your spine is like not severed."

That's some extreme stuff and we wish Rose a speedy recovery, especially with Batwoman possibly getting a second season. The actress does seem to be doing fine right now and seeing her talk about it and laugh it up doesn't make Rose's situation any less scary. Hopefully, the actress doesn't do anything too dangerous in the future.

Batwoman will debut on The CW on October 6.
