"I went to go see 'Borat,'" said the "Long Shot" actor. "I had a pre-existing injury in my neck - a herniated disk in my neck."

"A few of us went to go and see 'Borat,' and halfway through that movie, I laughed so hard that my neck locked up," Theron continued.

"And, like, an ambulance had to take me to the hospital, and I was in the hospital for five days."

She wasn't able to finish the film, and hasn't managed to watch it again since.

"I didn't finish the movie! I've never, like, fully finished the movie," Theron said.

"It's a risk now!" joked Meyers. "That is the highest praise you could ever give a movie," he added.
