Jameela Jamil did her own stunts for Marvel series She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, but she suffered a somewhat unusual injury along the way.
Jamil plays Titania, a social media influencer with super-human strength, who serves as a rival to She-Hulk, aka Jennifer Walters (Tatiana Maslany).
While discussing her stunt work with Entertainment Tonight's Matt Cohen at the She-Hulk premiere, Jamil said, "Oh, I did it all! I did it all." She added, "I was hurting in a place that I really didn't know exists."
"Like, you'll probably have to bleep this out, but I pulled a muscle in my a**hole," said Jamil. "I didn't know that was possible!"
For the role, Jamil said she learned "jiu jitsu and kung fu and combat in the air."
"I don't know how much of it ever gets to make it to the big screen, because CGI is bonkers," she said. "But I got to do all my stunts pretty much myself! And that was something I've never done before, because I'm the ultimate couch potato. I am just a puddle with bangs."
Jamil also spoke to ET about working with Mark Ruffalo.
"There was a day where we were all rehearsing together for a scene and [Ruffalo] made it feel like we were just rehearsing for a school play, it felt so fun, so free," she said. "He's so generous, he's so playful, he's so not what you would think someone at that level would be. He's just a gentleman."
She-Hulk: Attorney at Law premieres August 18 on Disney+.
