Catherine Zeta-Jones's toenail agony

25-08-2006 18:00

Catherine Zeta-Jones was left writhing in agony after having a toenail ripped off.

The Welsh actress was filming a scene for 'Death Defying Acts', a biopic about legendary escapologist Harry Houdini, at London's Savoy hotel when a burly member of the crew accidentally trod on her foot.

A source told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "It virtually took the toenail clean off. The nurse was called in. She was in pain but didn't have a tantrum."

Executive producer Dan Lupovitz played down the incident, saying the raven-haired star - who stars alongside Guy Pearce in the movie - quickly recovered from the toe mishap.

He said: "It was as minor incident which hardly disrupted filming. She's fine."

Meanwhile, Catherine's husband Michael Douglas has told her that two children is enough.

The actress has always said she wanted a big family but Douglas is happy with son Dylan and daughter Carys, and thinks his wife would be just as happy to focus on her career.
