In the season 5 premiere of Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test, Ruby Rose shared her personal health struggles stemming from injuries sustained while filming Batwoman in 2019. She revealed she has two replacement discs after breaking her neck twice, which has significantly impacted her ability to perform stunts. This revelation comes as she reflects on her confidence during the competition.
Rose candidly discussed how her experiences on Batwoman led to severe injuries, including two herniated discs near her spinal cord, which nearly left her paralyzed. As the season kicked off, she expressed that while being an action star was a joy, it also had consequences.
After struggling with a helicopter jump and revealing her health challenges, she acknowledged her feelings of inadequacy, stating, “Eventually it’s like, I’m not really that action star, am I? I’m just Ruby.”
The episode highlighted the intense physical demands of the competition alongside Rose’s battle to regain her confidence amid health setbacks. New episodes air Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on FOX.
