Milla Jovovich “punched” her director husband, Paul W.S. Anderson, within the face the primary time the pair ever labored on a film collectively.

“There was one point during the first Resident Evil where both myself and the director of photography had black eyes because Milla had punched us,” Anderson, 60, recounted to Us Weekly this week during an interview alongside Jovovich, 49.
While the well-known director clarified that his spouse’s punch was not “in anger,” Jovovich interrupted to insist that Anderson “asked for it.”
“They put me in an impossible situation,” the “Resident Evil” star defined. “Paul said, ‘Just punch straight at the camera as if I’m the camera.’ But he didn’t have a camera, so I just punched him straight in the eye.”
However, Anderson reiterated that he didn’t count on Jovovich to truly punch him, however the incident taught simply how sturdy his then-future-wife could possibly be.

“Well, I imagined that [Jovovich] would imagine there was a camera in front of me,” the “Event Horizon” director stated. “It takes her about ‘this much’ space, but she just imagined the back of my head was the lens.”
“And just, wham,” Anderson added with a snort. “So I saw how powerful her punches could be in real life.”

Jovovich starred as Alice in 2002’s “Resident Evil” earlier than returning to the position six more occasions in 14 years. The franchise’s last movie, “Resident Evil: The Final Chapter,” was launched in 2016. Anderson directed all seven motion pictures.

However, it wasn’t love at first sight for the pair. Anderson recounted how Jovovich secured the position that will make her a beloved actress to followers the world over – and it concerned “The White Lotus” star Jason Isaacs.
“She did,” Anderson responded when requested whether or not Jovovich needed to audition for the position of Alice. “She read with a very good friend of mine, Jason Isaacs. And he was in town and he’s like, ‘I want to come in and help, anything I can do.’ So he read with Milla.”
“Milla left,” the screenwriter continued, “and Jason turned to me and he said, ‘Well, that’s it then.’ And I said, ‘So you think she’s great for the movie?’ And he said, ‘Oh, forget about the movie. You and her.’”
“So he felt there was some electricity in the room,” Anderson concluded, “and he was not wrong.”
