In a candid interview on Running Wild with Bear Grylls, actress Uma Thurman disclosed she almost abandoned acting before Pulp Fiction because of a distressing Hollywood incident. She reflected on overcoming dyslexia, the impact of her Harvey Weinstein allegations, and a severe horse accident that required extensive recovery. Thurman also discussed her upcoming role in Pretty Lethal and her nuanced view on cinematic violence.
Uma Thurman revealed she nearly quit acting before her breakout role in Pulp Fiction due to a negative experience on a Hollywood set. Speaking on Running Wild with Bear Grylls, the actress, now 56, discussed her early struggles, including dyslexia, which made her 'not reading until eight or nine.
' She explained that acting gave her confidence from an 'academic family' background. However, before Pulp Fiction, she had what she described as a 'typical icky Hollywood experience' that made her consider leaving the industry. After working on Tarantino's film, she realized 'what real film and cinema was' and renewed her passion. She admitted to ongoing nervousness throughout her career, feeling like 'the gig would be up,' but she navigated it successfully.
The conversation also covered a severe 2016 horse riding accident where she broke multiple bones, including her pelvis, ribcage, and back. She described a long recovery using a wheelchair and walker, ultimately viewing it as a 'reset.
' The interview touched on her 2018 allegations against Harvey Weinstein, describing forced encounters and his threatening legal response. Her career highlights include Kill Bill, Batman & Robin, and Broadway. She will star in Pretty Lethal, blending martial arts and dance, though she noted she doesn't 'particularly like' violence, appreciating it only as an artful performance. The film features ballerinas hunted by her character and includes stars like Maddie Ziegler
