Drew Barrymore’s injury seems lucky for her career as a director – her debut film Whip It hit the top list!

Drew Barrymore

The Hollywood superstar Drew Barrymore was badly injured while she was busy filming for her directorial debut “Whip It” – a film about a roller derby team. As reported on a website, the actress had a quite serious bruise on her leg during a training session with the star Racer McChaser of the Detroit Derby Girls. Barrymore was left black and blue when the training session went wrong. The 34-year-old actress was on her roller skates, wrestling and rolling around the track – when she had a foot long and a foot wide cut across her leg.

As she said: “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,”

It seems that the incident disheartened Barrymore a bit, as “Whip It” is going to be the first comedy drama, where the actress is not only cast as the leading lady, but tried her luck as a Hollywood film director as well.

Not to worry Drew! As they say, “All’s well that ends well”- It did indeed! Surely, the actress’s hard work as a director paid off! Whip It hit the top list on its debut week as far as popularity is concerned. But, to rate Drew Barrymore as a director – well, we should rely on the judgment of the critics.
