The Magic Mike star, who portrays an on-air journalist in Aaron Sorkin’s critically-acclaimed drama, recently agreed to a multi-episode guest arc on Zooey Deschanel’s Emmy-nominated show, and while Munn admits she had a blast letting loose as a punch-throwing stripper, she often fell prone to accidents.
She tells Us Weekly, “The first take, I literally got an elbow to the jaw. And then… (another actress) accidentally punched me in the face, right across the cheekbone. But I just kept going.”
Munn, who shot the projects simultaneously, admits The Newsroom producers weren’t too thrilled when she showed up to set the next day all black and blue.
