Julia Roberts got into her role for the new film Ben Is Back.

The 50-year-old Oscar-winning actress told Entertainment Weekly magazine that she got hurt playing out an intense scene.

'I damaged my hand, actually. I don't think it's in the movie, but I really kind of beat the s*** out of Lucas [Hedges] in that dressing room, and I wasn't imagining that was the way the scene was going to go, and I don't think he was either,' said the Malibu resident.

'At press conferences, one person will ask you something about Homecoming and then you get super invested in that whole idea, and then someone else asks a question about Ben Is Back, and so it's a little dizzying,' said the Pelican Brief star.

Roberts also touched on the state of the US which has become more polarized since Donald Trump took office. 

 'But it is so, so challenging to find any kind of clarity in these times. There's so much mire and bulls—. And you feel like it's five steps forward with #MeToo, Time's Up. Then [there's] this whole Kavanaugh mess, and people are being so disrespectful and unkind.

 

'Why on earth would a person put their life through what she is putting her life through and not be telling the truth? I just go, "F***, I [don't] even know which way is up anymore."'
