Dame Emma Thompson fractured her ankle on the set of ‘Matilda .’<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

DameEmma Thomspon injured herself on set of Matilda<\/p>\n

The 63-year-old actress stars as menacing headmistress Miss Trunchbull in the movie adaptation of Tim Minchin<\/a> and Dennis Kelly’s ‘Matilda the Musical’ – which is based on the classic children’s novel by Roald Dahl – and revealed that during the shoot she fell over on set for “no good reason.”<\/p>\n

She said: “Whilst I’m strong, because I’m getting older, I can hurt myself, and that was interesting. I fell over for no good reason and fractured my ankle. And I thought, ‘That’s kind of weird, I’ve never hurt myself like that. Huh, that’s because I’m getting older.’ My body’s changing and I’ve got to be more careful with it.”<\/p>\n

The ‘Nanny McPhee’ star had to wear a compression boot on the set of ‘Matilda’ and recalled her surprise that on one particular day despite her injury she had to perform a stunt upside down whilst on a crane.<\/p>\n

She told PEOPLE: “I said, ‘I’m so sorry, I’ve got to wear the boot. They said, ‘It’s okay, you’re doing a stunt today.’ I said, ‘What? I’ve just fractured my ankle.’ They said, ‘It’s okay, we’re just turning you upside down. It’s fine, you’re on a crane.’ I said, ‘Okay, all right then!'”<\/p>\n

\nThe Oscar-winning actress previously revealed that her transformation into the villainous headmistress – who was famously played by ‘Harry Potter’ star Pam Ferris in the 1996 movie but is traditionally played by a man in the West End stage musical – took a total of three hours every day.<\/p>\n

\nShe said: “\u2018Cruella\u2019 was a long time, actually, but this was the longest. There\u2019s an actual body suit, which is to give her the heft and the muscle. And then a massive weighty underwear and pretend chest and all of that. It was a lot to walk around in!”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
