Oscar winner Julianne Moore has undergone an emergency appendectomy.
Moore has revealed she ended up in a hospital emergency room a few weeks ago after experiencing serious pains in her lower abdomen.
"Oh my God, I was in so much unbearable pain, I thought I was going to die," shetold People magazine.
The surgery to remove her appendix occurred just weeks after Moore suffered another health issue.
"It was crazy," she explains. "During the summer I do a lot of yoga, but I got a bursa (small fluid-filled sac) on my shoulder so I had to lay off the yoga. Then I got appendicitis so I was like, 'What the hell is happening?!"'
The 54-year-old's husband, filmmaker Bart Freundlich, decided to help his wife document the medical emergency by taking photos of the appendix after it had been removed - and now the actress can't stop showing everyone, "whether they ask or not".
"It's really gross!" she laughs.
Moore portrays President Alma Coin in The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2.
