The debut in Hollywood in the film Zombieland: Double Tap (Sony Pictures) has been a great satisfaction for Lili Estefan …. and also a lot of pain. The Cuban presenter suffered a serious accident on the shoot.

What happened during the recording of your scene with Bill Murray?

When I got there they told me I had a double, but I wanted to do everything. I am in the last scene, I am the last zombie that Bill Murray kills on the tape. I glimpse and annoy him so much with [the comic Garo] Garfield that he gets so mad that he turns me into a zombie and kills me right there.

So how did you have that accident?

Bill kills me by breaking a Garfield poster in my head. So when we were making the movie, the boy who had to prepare the poster that breaks my head did not. He forgot to cut the cardboard [for the part where] my head was going to come out [so he wouldn't hit me].

We were recording, I'm already turned into a zombie and I see that Bill lifts the poster and the part where my head was going to pass was not shortened. I said 'oh what do I do' and decided not to stop the scene. I hit myself in the head, knocked me to the ground and bled everywhere. I broke my jaw, my nose and everyone saw me lying on the floor. Bill saw me and started yelling 'OMG that's real blood.' I just laughed.

They had to stop recording everything

No. The director, everyone, came to ask for forgiveness, my jaw healed. They sat me down, but I wanted to keep going. They put some invisible stitches on my jaw. And I kept going. That's what I was going to work for. Everyone applauded me because I continued regardless [the] blow, when I go to the premiere Emma Stone says to me: 'Hey, you were a warrior'. I was happy, they treated me very well.
