Aisling Bea remembers the moment she saw her shoulder dislocated from her arm.
The actress, 40, didn’t realize the severity of her injury and suffered excruciating migraines for three years before having to undergo reconstruction surgery.
Aisling appeared on The Chris Evans Breakfast Show with the National Lottery on Virgin Radio on Wednesday and opened up about the nasty setback while promoting her new film Get Away.
‘We do all the fight scenes. My stunt story is that I got knocked down during the pandemic and had a horrible shoulder injury that I thought was some kind of cure, but I ended up with horrible migraines for about three years,” she said.
‘I went to the screening last night and it turned out that my shoulder had fallen off my arm during filming.
‘It was like I was getting weaker and weaker and I was getting more and more migraines while we were filming.

“But last night we went to the screening at the cinema and I could see the moment and it wasn’t exactly the character’s eyes anymore.
‘I saw the moment in my face where I said, “Oh… that’s not right.” It was just a very simple arm movement. So then I had to have a shoulder reconstruction.’
Aisling added: “They actually did a shoulder reconstruction, which didn’t work because I got pregnant straight away like an idiot. But I had the screw removed when I was pregnant. And it’s like a little Ikea screw. I have it in my kitchen and the baby uses it as a rattle in the test tube.”
Aisling also spoke about her five-month-old daughter, calling her a “big star.”
In August, the actress welcomed her first child with boyfriend Jack Freeman.
She said: ‘My boyfriend is a real musician so we have a lot of music in the house which really helps the baby. The baby is singing now.
‘We have become absolute madmen. I think she wants to go to bed so late at night because she’s tired of the two of us, because we’re like [sings]”Mommy, I love you.” She goes “waaahh” – she starts singing away. I think she’s going to be a big star.’

The actress stars alongside Nick Frost in the film Get Away.
They play married couple Richard and Susan Smith, while Maisie Ayres and Sebastian Croft play their son and daughter, Jessie and Sam.
Written by Nick himself and directed by Steffen Haars, the slasher comedy follows the Smith family as they go on holiday to the small Swedish island of Svälta.
However, the mainlanders warn them to avoid the island at all costs, especially during the Karantan festival – which is exactly when they go.
The family chooses to take the ferry to the island anyway, but while there the locals are actively hostile and rude, with their extreme behavior suggesting that something bad is about to happen.
The film was released theatrically in the US and Canada last month and will be available to UK viewers on Sky Cinema on January 10.
