Hollywood stunner Jennifer Connelly is training to be an Ultimate Fighter.
The Oscar-winning actress has revealed she loves taking mixed martial arts (MMA) classes and has an ‘inner ninja’.
Connelly, 38, started taking MMA classes after watching her husband, Brit actor Paul Bettany, 38, training for a new action film role.
She said: “I’ve taken on mixed martial arts. My husband is doing an action film so he’s been doing some martial arts, I thought it looked like fun so I gave it a try.
“What happened was I threw my first punch and I heard that really loud crack as my fist hit the pad and I got this huge smile on my face.
“I was a little embarrassed and frankly confused that hitting something was bringing me so much pleasure.”
Jennifer – who will next be heard voicing a character in the animated action film 9 – said she has come to terms with her violent urges: “I’ve discovered that inside this mild-mannered woman beats the heart of a ruthless ninja. It’s brought something out of me – now I’m feeling a little nervous and I realise I want to punch your face.”
