Halle Berry isn’t afraid to put her body on the line for a role.
The Oscar-winning actress revealed the long and painful list of injuries she has sustained in her acting career as she and co-star Mark Wahlberg promoted their upcoming Netflix comedy spy movie, “The Union.”
“Got an arm broken, broke ribs twice — two ribs one time, three ribs another time,” Berry, 57, continued.
“Broke a tailbone, broke two toes and a finger — this finger,” she added, while chuckling and holding up her middle finger.
Meanwhile, the “Ted” star, 53, shared that he has previously suffered a torn meniscus, a separated shoulder and a bruised ego “quite a few times” for the sake of his craft.

Berry has also performed some hair-raising feats onscreen over the years, including holding her breath underwater while shooting the 2012 film “Dark Tide.”
“I played a free diver. I had to hold my breath for almost two and a half minutes. And that felt like eternity. It felt like death was imminent,” the “Catwoman” star recalled.
Additionally, playing Storm in the “X-Men” movies wasn’t a cakewalk because Berry had to be suspended in the air on a wire for “a long time.”
“Actually it felt like the guy had gone to lunch,” she joked. “That’s how long I was up there and I was like, ‘Hello? Hello, anybody?'”
The actress also recalled having to hang on a wire for an “eternity” while playing Storm in the “X-Men” franchise. REUTERS The former Bond girl has also learned several martial arts. AP
The “Bruised” actress also listed the impressive list of martial arts skills she has acquired in her career.
“I’ve learned jiu-jitsu, some Muay Thai, kickboxing, taekwondo and I learned how to shoot,” she said.
Wahlberg’s list, however included crochet, ballet and tango dancing, which he learned for his role in “The Other Guys.”
