Halle Berry really suffered for her art while preparing for her role in John Wick 3, as the actress reveals she broke three ribs.

The Oscar-winning actress will star in the latest John Wick sequel alongside Keanu Reeves playing Sofia, an old acquaintance of Hollywood’s favourite hitman.

It seems Halle, 52, went really hard in rehearsals before they even got to filming the actual scenes, so much so that she suffered serious injuries.

Opening up on her horrific accident, the actress told Extra: ‘I broke three ribs when I was rehearsing for John Wick.’

Despite probably needing medical attention, Halle seems surprisingly proud of her injuries and described them as a ‘badge of honour’.

She continued: ‘It’s like a badge of honour for me, we don’t know how it happened… I worked for a little while with broken ribs until I could no longer do it.

‘Hours and hours of stunt training. It’s gun training, it’s dog training, then it’s just strength training on top of that with my trainer, and it’s watching my diet.’

Sounds pretty intense but no doubt worth it.

It’ll be Halle’s first appearance in the John Wick series, which follows the titular character on the run after killing a member of the international assassin’s guild. Naturally, Wick’s got a $14 million (£10.8 million) hit on his head so of course there’s a host of money-hungry killers on his trail.

Halle admits that working alongside Keanu, 54, was a daunting experience as she didn’t want to ‘disappoint him’.

Understandable given the John Wick franchise, which he launched in 2014, has earned an estimated $260.3 million (£201.5 million) at the box office to date.

John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum hits UK cinemas on 15 May.
