Actors injuring themselves on set is nothing new, but when it comes to the injuries themselves, actor Jameela Jamil seems to have opened a whole new can of worms.
During the launch of the new Disney+ series she stars in, She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, Jamil revealed that while doing her own stunts for the Marvel show she injured her backside.
You're probably thinking she pulled a glute muscle or something, right? Well you're halfway there—she did pull a muscle in her butt, but it was one of the muscles in her... well, there's just no other way to say this—her butt *hole*, specifically.
And if you weren't aware that was even possible, you're not alone.
Jamil toldEntertainment Tonight she wasn't either.

Speaking with ET at the red-carpet premiere of She-Hulk at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood, Jamil revealed just how much of a physical challenge her role was.
Of the stunts she had to complete, she said:
"Oh, I did it all! I did it all. I was hurting in places that I really didn't know exist."
"Like, you'll probably have to bleep this out, but I pulled a muscle in my a**hole. I didn't know that was possible!"
So how does one go about injuring their a**hole?
Jamil described her stunts as "jiu jitsu and kung fu and combat in the air." So make a note to avoid those disciplines if you feel like saving your butt.
On Twitter, Jamil's injury definitely left people surprised.
\u201cToday is the day I learned it's possible to pull a muscle in your a**hole. I had no idea. @ByGeorgeThomas plans on talking about this movie when he's on the show on Friday, so this will definitely come up. https://t.co/pREhgbLUvC\u201d— Jimmy Malone, Liberal & Ultra-Masker (@Jimmy Malone, Liberal & Ultra-Masker) 1660675787

Jamil also told ET the physical nature of her role as Titania, a social media influencer with super-strength, was a bit of a departure for her, since she's prone to a less than athletic lifestyle.
As she described it:
"[T]hat was something I've never done before, because I'm the ultimate couch potato. I am just a puddle with bangs."
You heard it here first—stay active or you'll end up injuring your a**hole.
