It’s been revealed that Gwyneth Paltrow broke her knee while filming the new ’Iron Man’ movie, with director Jon Favreau brushing the accident aside only to find she suffered a "devastating injury".
Photographs of the actress with bandages on her knee and walking with crutches circulated in June last year (2007), however her rep refused to confirm how the injury happened at the time.
While promoting the new film during a press conference in London, Paltrow’s co-star Robert Downey Jnr explained, "Gwyneth showed up to work one day and Jon had her running away from a green screen or something and she was like ‘I think my knee hurts a little bit’."
"Jon was like [dismissively] "Yeah, anyway…" because, you know, that’s your typical actress royalty issue – "I don’t think I can really do anything today" and as it turns out, she had quite a devastating injury on her knee and immediately went into surgery the next day!"
Downey Jnr adds, "If there’s any time when it seems like she’s just standing as opposed to doing something she might normally do, that’s why!"
