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.”
“I’ve been knocked out three times,” she said in a video shared on Instagram.

“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?’”
