Actress ROSE MCGOWAN is so dedicated to her regular exercise regime, she continued to workout even when she'd broken her foot.
The Grindhouse star was running late for a workout with her trainer last month (Apr08) when she picked up the injury - but she felt so bad for keeping her instructor waiting, she decided to endure the pain while she exercised instead of making her way to a hospital emergency room.
She tells People.com, "I thought I'd kept my trainer waiting too long downstairs, so I was running and my foot just hit the edge of the doorway. It just happens to be (made of) stone and that didn't work out well!
"But I did not miss my workout. I stuck ice on it, did my upper body, and then went to the hospital."
And MCGowan admits she was in tears by the time she did see a doctor - but it was not because of the pain from her broken foot.
Speaking at the Cannes Film Festival in France on Thursday (22May08), MCGowan - who was wearing a Dolce + Gabbana dress with one Sergio Rossi heel - recalls: "The doctor thought I was crying because I was in pain but I told him it was because I have to go to Cannes and I refuse to wear flats (flat shoes).
"Tonight I put padding beneath the case and now it's the same height as the heel. Genius!"
