Jennifer Lawrence hit in the eye by glass on set of her latest film

Jennifer Lawrence was left injured after being hit in the eye with a shard of glass when a stunt went wrong on the set of her latest film.

The Oscar-winning star, who is earning a reported £10 million to star opposite Leonardo DiCaprio in the sci-fi drama Don’t Look Up, was said to be ‘shaken but OK’ after the incident in Boston.

The accident happened as the 30-year-old was filming a riot scene where a rubbish bin was thrown through a window next to where she was sitting.

A source said: ‘It was a routine stunt and everything seemed fine until the window shattered and she screamed and fell to the floor.

‘The glass hit her above the eye but there were concerns tiny fragments might have gone in the eye so she was taken to hospital.

There doesn’t appear to be any long-term damage.’

The movie, already delayed by Covid, has now been put on hold while the actress recovers.
