« I was freaking out, » she added. « 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. »

« It’s actually a miracle that I’m here today, » she noted. 

The « Mad Max: Fury Road » actress continued to detail the risks involved while she worked on her physically demanding role.
