It might be tempting to imagine that being a Hollywood movie star essentially entails being brought immaculately made caramel macchiatos, sampling the free on-set food buffet and shooting the breeze with your equally beautiful co-stars.

Of course, the reality is rarely as rose-tinted as the fantasy we conjure up of these situations. In practice, many actors have spoken of just how mind-numbing spending long hours on a movie set can become. It's essentially hours of waiting followed by some extremely intense periods of work.

And this goes double if you happen to be performing your own stunts in a movie.

Don't believe me? Check out this gruesome video of Tom Cruise breaking his ankle while performing a stunt on the set of Mission Impossible 6 (though be warned, some may find the footage upsetting):

And now, Bryce Dallas Howard has shared some pictures on social media that show the serious work she's been putting into her stunts on the set of the third Jurassic World movie.

The actress took to Twitter to share a series of images of the various nasty bumps and bruises she's accrued while clearly putting in some pretty intense stunt work for the upcoming movie.

Howard wrote alongside the images: "Raise your hands if you’re happy to be doing stunts again!!"

She said: "These past couple of weeks my abs have been sore from laughing so much – it’s good to be back at work with this funny guy,”
