DREW BARRYMORE'S MOVIE BRUISES

'Whip It' star Drew Barrymore was left covered in bruises after a training session for the roller derby movie went wrong.

Drew Barrymore badly bruised her leg while filming 'Whip It'.

The Hollywood actress - who makes her directorial debut and stars in the movie about a roller derby team - was left black and blue when a training session with Detroit Derby Girls star Racer McChasHer went wrong.

Drew explained: "We were wrestling and rolling around on the track, one of our skates and both our body weights were on my thigh. I had a bruise that was a foot long and a foot wide. My entire leg was covered."

However, the 34-year-old star has joked she didn't mind rolling around with the professional skater.

She added: "I don't think there's anything hotter or more fun to do than a girl fight!"

Drew is not the only actress to suffer an injury while making the movie.

Juliette Lewis recently revealed the co-stars constantly compared their "bad a*s" injuries on set.

She said: "Learning to skate, roller derby style, was a challenging task. But we all became bad a**es comparing bruises. Drew had one about eight inches long and five inches wide on the hip. I got some hip knots and a scraped chin, but thankfully no busted teeth. Bruises and scrapes are cool, busted teeth - not cool!"

'Whip It' is about beauty pageant entrant Bliss - played by Ellen Page - who decides to toughen up and join a roller derby league.
