Aisling Bea recalls the horrifying moment she watched her shoulder dislocate from her arm

Aisling Bea has recalled the moment she watched her shoulder dislocate from her arm. 

The actress, 40, didn't realise the severity of her injury and suffered excruciating migraines for three years, before requiring reconstruction surgery. 

Aisling appeared on The Chris Evans Breakfast Show with the National Lottery on Virgin Radio on Wednesday and talked about the nasty setback as she promoted her new film Get Away. 

'We do all the fight scenes. My stunt story is that I was knocked down during the pandemic and I had a terrible shoulder injury which I thought was kind of healing, but I was getting terrible migraines for about three years,' she said. 

'I went to the screening last night and it turns out my shoulder came off my arm while we were filming. 

'It was like getting weaker and weaker and I was getting way more migraines while we were filming. 

'But last night we went to the screening in the cinema and I could see the moment and it wasn't exactly the character's eyes anymore.

'I could see the moment in my face, of me going, "Oh… That's not good." It was just from a very simple lift of an arm. So then I had to get 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 got the screw taken out while I was pregnant. And it's just like a little Ikea screw. I have it in my kitchen and the baby uses it as a rattler in the test tube.' 

Aisling also spoke about her five-month-old daughter, tipping her to be a 'big star'.

In August, the actress welcomed her first child with her boyfriend Jack Freeman.  

She said: 'My boyfriend is very much a musician, so we have a lot of music in the house which is really helping the baby actually. The baby sings now.

'We've become absolute lunatics. I think she wants to go to bed at night for so long because she's sick of the two of us, because we're like [sings], "Mama, I love you". She's like "waaahh" - she's started 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, with Maisie Ayres and Sebastian Croft playing their son and daughter, Jessie and Sam.

The slasher comedy was written by Nick himself and directed by Steffen Haars and follows the Smith family as they go away 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 precisely when they're going.

The family opts to take the ferry to the island anyway, but while they are there, the locals are actively hostile and rude, with their extreme behaviour suggesting that something bad is about to happen.

The movie was released in the US and Canada in theatres last month and will become available to UK viewers on Sky Cinema on January 10.
