Angelina Jolie has revealed that she was left scarred, after a stunt on the set of latest film Salt went wrong.
The actress, speaking at the Comic-Con festival in San Diego, California, revealed that she picked up the injury during a ‘ridiculously’ easy scene.
The 35-year-old reportedly sliced open her face just above her nose while rolling through a doorway with a gun, according to the Telegraph. Jolie plays Evelyn Salt, a CIA officer accused of being a Russian spy.
‘I was bleeding and I have a little scar now’ said the actress, addressing the crowd.
Jolie also revealed that she initially thought she had suffered a concussion because she was unable to hear anything, but then realised that she was wearing earplugs.
‘I couldn’t hear everybody well and I thought ‘oh god, I’ve done it. I have a concussion’. But it turns out, I just still had my earplugs in, so I was fine,’ she added.
Co-star Liev Schreiber told the conference ‘She wanted to do every stunt, and she did,’
‘No CGI in the movie, no stunt double, it’s all her.’
Jolie’s previous roles include Tomb Raider, Wanted, Interrupted and Mr and Mrs Smith – which she starred in alongside now-husband Brad Pitt.

Mick Jagger had an affair with Angelina Jolie whilst he was still married to Jerry Hall, a new book has sensationally claimed.
It is alleged the pair first had a brief fling after she starred in the video for the Rolling Stones’ 1997 song Anybody Seen My Baby?, while she was still married to British actor Jonny Lee Miller.
And it is claimed they enjoyed a second affair six years later in 2003, while the womanising rocker was with his latest lover L’Wren Scott.
On this occasion it is claimed the two were seen going back to Jagger’s room at the Oriental hotel in Bangkok, Thailand.
The allegations come in a new book called Brad Pitt And Angelina Jolie: The True Story, written by US biographer Jenny Paul.
She has spent six years researching the material and her sources are said to include Jolie’s close friend Texas Terri and an ex-boyfriend of her mother, Bill Day
In a string of other allegations, Paul also claims that Angelina was sleeping with Hollywood star Ralph Fiennes and ex-husband Miller when she met Brad Pitt in 2004.
She also says that Jolie was dating Irish actor Colin Farrell, 33, for four months after meeting him on the set of 2004 film, Alexander.
But the couple were said to have ended the relationship because of his heavy drinking.
It is the first time that Jagger has been accused of cheating on his long-term partner Miss Scott, 42. He has been with the US fashion designer since 2001.
The 66-year-old’s first alleged fling with Jolie – who is 32 years his junior – was said to have happened two years before he finally divorced Texas model Jerry Hall, following a string of affairs during their 22-year marriage.
The new book also outlines an account of how Angelina Jolie and her current partner Brad Pitt got together. When they first met, he was still married to Friends star Jennifer Aniston.
‘Brad told Angelina just weeks into filming Mr & Mrs Smith that his marriage to Jen was over in every way apart from on paper and had been for more than a year,’ says Paul.
According to the book, Brad told Angelina that he and Jen were just good friends and were waiting for the right time to officially end their marriage.
It also tells how Brad and Angelina, who it is rumoured are on the verge of splitting, plan to have 13 children. ‘Some will be adopted, some will be biological,’ Paul added.
‘And when they’ll have those kids may be up to Brad because he’s the one calling the shots these days.
‘The power base in the relationship has changed,’ Paul reveals. ‘Angelina wore the pants first, but now Brad’s the one wearing them.’
The revelations come amid reports that Johnny Depp’s wife Vanessa Paradis, 37, has told her husband to quit his film The Tourist after learning he is to do a passionate sex scene with Jolie.
Spokesmen for both Jagger and Jolie declined to comment.
The News of the World published a story on 24 January, the paper said the couple would separate and had agreed the division of assets and custody of their children.
The Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s lawyer, Keith Schilling, called the “widely republished” allegations “false and intrusive”.
He added the paper had failed to meet “reasonable demands” for an apology.
He said the pair had also asked for a retraction of the allegations, which had subsequently been “widely republished by mainstream news outlets”.
Not married
A statement from Schillings Lawyers also noted that Sorrell Trope, identified by some publications as a divorce lawyer advising Pitt and Jolie, had never met them.
“I have had no contact from… Angelina Jolie and / or Brad Pitt,” said Trope in a letter quoted in the statement.
“I have never met… your clients or had any involvement with either of them. The foregoing is true with respect to all other members of this firm.”
The action comes following the publication by the News of the World of allegations that Jolie and / or Pitt had visited a divorce lawyer in December, and that an agreement had been reached between them regarding custody of their children and the dividing of their joint assets of £205m.
The newspaper added that the agreement had been signed last month and that the separation would occur imminently.
A News Of The World spokesperson was unable to comment at the time of writing.
Pitt and Jolie, who are not married, have six children.
They made a rare public appearance on Sunday night’s Super Bowl, along with their eldest son, Maddox.

Jolie is said to be using the Pirates of The Caribbean pin up as a shoulder to cry on as the media storm surrounding her romance with Pitt rumbles on.
Angie reportedly made pals with Johnny on the set of their new film The Tourist.
Since, Hollywood insiders allege Jolie has been ‘bombarding’ Depp with emails and ‘burning up the phone lines’ about her woes.
The actress has spent hours “drinking red wine with Johnny”, says a source.
Paradis, 37, will have to have nerves of steal as her fella is set for a full on love scene in the shower with Jolie.
An excerpt from the film’s script says, “She kisses him back with ardour, wrapping her dripping legs around his back”.
Jolie, 34, will surely be keen to be on her best behaviour after she was accused of stealing Brad Pitt away from Jennifer Aniston on the 2005 set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith.
The actress did her best to silence whispers that she and Brad were in the pits after attending the Directors Guild Awards with him on Saturday, although she refused to be photographed with her man.
Meanwhile, it was announced this week Depp, 46 and co-star Anne Hathaway will enjoy a royal premiere when Prince Charles and Camilla attend the world premiere of Tim Burton’s Alice In Wonderland in London’s Leicester Square on February 25.

The actor, 46, looked euphoric as he introduced Quentin Tarantino, director of his film Inglourious Basterds, at the Directors Guild of America Awards in Los Angeles.
Angelina, who was wearing a grey Elie Saab dress, made a surprise appearance at the prestigious bash to watch Brad sing Tarantino’s praises.
The couple put paid to rumours that they are on the verge of a £205 million split by acting even more loved-up than ever.
Brad was spotted pulling out a chair for Angelina, 34, and affectionately stroking her back as they chatted at the table with Tarantino.
An onlooker told The Daily Mirror: “She was giggling and they looked like they were having a fun time. Split? It looked more like a date.”
Speculation has been rife that Hollywood’s golden couple are on the brink of splitting and applying for joint custody of their six children.
