Jameela Jamil Says She Suffered Anal Injury During She-Hulk Stunts

Actor Jameela Jamil is hoping to put the experience of making “She-Hulk: Attorney at Law ” behind her after revealing that she sustained an unpleasant injury for the new series.

Jamil stars alongside Tatiana Maslany  in the hotly anticipated Marvel Studios program, which hits Disney+ on Thursday. At the show’s Los Angeles premiere this week, the actor talked about preparing for the role, which required extensive physical training for the many stunt-heavy action scenes.

“Oh, I did it all!” Jamil told Entertainment Tonight  on Monday. “I was hurting in places that I really didn’t know exist.”

She continued: “You’ll probably have to bleep this out, but I pulled a muscle in my asshole. Didn’t know that was possible!”

“She-Hulk: Attorney at Law” follows Maslany’s character, Jennifer Walters — a lawyer who discovers that an accident has given her superpowers similar to those of Bruce Banner, played by Mark Ruffalo . Jamil’s character, Titania, is a social media influencer who also happens to have superhuman strength and emerges as Walters’ archrival.

Jamil also said she learned jujitsu and kung fu before arriving on the “She-Hulk” set.

“I got to do all my stunts pretty much myself,” she told Entertainment Tonight. “And that was something that I’ve never done before because I’m the ultimate couch potato. I am just a puddle with bangs.”

The actor had high praise for Ruffalo, whom she described as “so generous” and “so playful.”

“There was a day where we were all rehearsing together for a scene, and he made it feel like we were just rehearsing for a school play,” she said . “He’s so not what you would think someone at that level would be — just a gentleman.”

Early reviews of “She-Hulk: Attorney at Law” have thus far been mixed. 

The Chicago Sun-Times called the series a “borderline silly but always entertaining chapter in the never-ending Marvel saga,” while the Daily Beast was less impressed, deeming the show “a Hulk-smash on the skip button.”
