Ruby Rose, who is starring as Batwoman in the upcoming CW series, appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Monday to promote the new superhero show.
Ruby revealed that she suffered on-set injuries and was actually very close to being paralyzed.
Talking to Jimmy Fallon, Rose revealed:
“So, I did a stunt for a very extended amount of time, like seven hours, and we thought that I’d broken a rib, or just fractured a rib and that was, like, six to 12 weeks of healing. So, then I had six to 12 weeks of chronic pain and was just assuming that that’s what it was… I kept seeing these doctors and they said, ‘It’s your neck, it’s your neck. It just radiates into these places because of nerve endings.'”
Check out the interview below.
“I finally got an MRI and… and basically he called me and was like, ‘You could become a paraplegic,” she relayed, adding, “‘This is your spine. Two of your discs have herniated. And they’ve broken all of the protective layers. You have this tiny amount where your spine is not severed and if you don’t get back, you could become a paraplegic.'”
The actress had the procedure done on Friday and actually posted it on her Instagram account. The video shows the procedure being done in extreme detail so only watch it if you can stomach it… I couldn’t.
Ruby has made a very quick and successful recovery and we can’t wait to see her in her own series and in the upcoming crossover.
Batwoman stars Ruby Rose as Kate Kane/Batwoman. The series co-stars Dougray Scott, Elizabeth Anweis, Meagan Tandy, Camrus Johnson, Nicole Kang and Rachel Skarsten.
The series is set to premiere on The CW in North America on Sunday, October 6, 2019.
