Jennifer Connelly's bizarre meds reaction

Jennifer Connelly had an embarrassing reaction to medication after hurting her neck whilst filming a car chase sequence with Leonardo DiCaprio for upcoming movie Blood Diamond. She relied on husband Paul Bettany to save her from the consequences of her actions.

The actress, who shot to fame in Labyrinth, revealed to IMDB: "I got a pretty serious neck injury. The pills that they give [me] - those were a real shock. It says on the label, 'Do not operate any heavy machinery', but, in my case, it should have been, 'Do not leave the house under any circumstances'.

Connelly admitted she had grand pretensions whilst under the influence of the medication: "I do vaguely remember talking to someone, saying I thought it would be a good idea if I, who has no experience of credentials whatsoever, edited the film. I do remember getting irritated with (husband) Paul Bettany, who was kicking me under the table, because... he could clearly see the person I was talking to was the editor of the film. I then also tried to replace the DJ... because I thought I could do better at that. Paul, gracefully, dragged me home before I got pummeled."
