Halle Berry may be an action movie star, but it comes at a price.
The "X-Men" and "Catwoman" star recalled 10 broken bones and injuries she has accumulated on action movie sets over the years while promoting her latest, Netflix's "The Union" with Mark Wahlberg.
"I've been knocked out three times, got an arm broken, broke ribs twice — two ribs one time, three ribs another time — broke a tail bone, broke two toes and a finger: this finger," Berry said, raising her middle finger with a laugh, in a clip shared by Netflix.
Berry and Wahlberg compared injuries, with the "Departed" actor recalling tearing a meniscus, separating his shoulder and getting his "ego bruised quite a few times."

Berry may surpass Wahlberg in injuries, but he has her beat in time spent underwater. The actress spent nearly two and a half minutes underwater shooting 2012's "Dark Tide," while the actor spent 10 minutes underwater for 2000's "The Perfect Storm."
"We were in the tank, and we had the wave. There was guys underneath the water holding my feet to hold me in position. And they didn't know where I was in relation to the waves," he said. "So I'm sucking in water and it's going up and over my head. And I'm just trying to stay there and do the line and make sure I got the tear in the eye. That was not fun."
The movie veterans also shared the skills they've picked up over their careers, with Berry noting she has learned jiu-jitsu, muay thai, kickboxing, Taekwondo and shooting, as well as capoeira, the Afro-Brazilian martial art, for "Catwoman." Meanwhile, Wahlberg learned to crochet and dance ballet and tango for his 2010 action comedy "The Other Guys."
Berry later recalled her longest time on a wire playing Storm in the "X-Men" franchise over the years. "A long time, 'cause Storm was always in the sky on a wire," Berry said. "Actually it felt like the (crew member) had gone to lunch. That's how long I was up there."
In "The Union" (streaming Friday), Berry plays Roxanne, a United States intelligence agent who recruits her high-school sweetheart, construction worker Mike (Wahlberg) for a mission.
