Jessica Chastain performs some stunts herself in The 355, a new action-thriller that she co-produced and stars in alongside Penélope Cruz, Lupita Nyong'o, Fan Bingbing, Diane Kruger, and more.

That is until recently, when we learned that she sustained what probably could've been a serious head injury while filming a combat scene gone awry.

Penélope joined her — Lupita had to drop out of promotional engagements for The 355 after testing positive for COVID-19 earlier this week — and recalled being "really worried" when the accident happened.

"I did a couple more takes because I don't give up easy, and then I went to the hospital," she finished.
