The Flight Attendant’s Kaley Cuoco kicked a shoe at co-star’s head ‘with the precision of a footballer’

THE Flight Attendant’s Kaley Cuoco kicked a shoe at her co-star’s head ‘with the precision of a footballer’ on set.

The former Big Bang Theory actress plays Cassie Bowden, an air hostess with an alcohol problem who wakes up in a Bangkok hotel room with a dead body next to her.

Scottish actress Michelle Gomez stars alongside Kaley as Miranda, and in a new interview with Digital Spy, she revealed how the American had to kick a shoe at her head for one particular scene.

She said: “That girl has got a foot, I’m telling you. Her precision in the way that she kicks that shoe at my head, was up there with a professional footballer.

“Every time she kicked that shoe at my head, everybody gasped at the monitor because they thought that it had made contact.”

Thankfully, Michelle escaped unscathed, and got to unleash some anger as Miranda herself.

She said: “I’ve got some great scenes coming up where I just casually beat the sh** out of large men.

“I felt like the Incredible Hulk, but in cashmere. I’m not particularly built. But I liked that this wily, little Scottish woman took no prisoners.”

While the women get into all sorts of scraps and drama in the series, behind-the-scenes they got on like a house on fire.

Michelle added: “From the get-go, we were described as an unlikely pair.

“Maybe you wouldn’t have put us together in real life, but we just had an instant chemistry and a little – what’s the opposite of a bromance? A girl-mance? Something like that.”

The Flight Attendant is based on the novel of the same name by Chris Bohjalian and also stars Michiel Huisman and T.R. Knight.

The Flight Attendant is available to watch in the US on HBO Max, while a UK release is yet to be confirmed.
