Actress Jennifer Connelly said recently that she received a serious neck injury while filming a car chase with Leonardo DiCaprio on the set of their new film "Blood Diamond", which is due in theaters Friday. Connelly, who is rumored to be pregnant again with baby #3, didn't have much to say about the injury except that she had an interesting evening when she mixed the pain medication and wine at dinner and ended up embarrassing herself.
"Evidently, I tried to replace the DJ at the club, because I thought I could do better at that ..."
She added that her husband, actor Paul Bettany, "gracefully dragged me home before I got pummeled."
"I got a pretty serious neck injury, which was a shock, because I've never had a real injury before - as were the meds, frankly. The pills that they give you - those were a real shock," Connelly told IMdB. "It says on the label, 'Do not operate any heavy machinery', but, in my case, it should have been, 'Do not leave the house under any circumstances'.
The problem was that she had no idea what she was saying or to whom she was talking to at dinner that night. "I do vaguely remember talking to someone, saying I thought it would be a good idea if I - who has no experience of credentials whatsoever - edited the film."
"I remember getting irritated with my husband who was kicking me under the table - because the person I was talking to was the editor of the film."
