Malaysia-born actress Michelle Yeoh got badly hurt over the Valentine's Day weekend.

And no, it wasn't her feelings that were bruised -- she literally had a bad fall.

The star, who rose to fame with frequent roles in 1990s Hong Kong action films, posted an Instagram picture of her injured leg with medical staff fussing about her wound on Saturday (Feb 16).

Also pictured bedside is her partner -- 73-year-old French businessman Jean Todt, looking at the 56-year-old star with much anxiety written on his face.

"Bad trip. Don't look closely if (you're) squeamish... My heroes looked it over, then rushed me to hospital for 10 stitches!!!" wrote Yeoh with a facepalm emoji.

Yikes.

Upon knowing about Yeoh's terrible fall, her Crazy Rich Asians co-stars Fiona Xie, Henry Golding, Ken Jeong and Tan Kheng Hua all sent their love and wishes for her speedy recovery.

Thankfully, the 56-year-old star seems to have bounced back up and out of the hospital pretty quickly.

"Chilling in Palma [...] Thank you all for your good wishes. Guess I’m not quite the super ninja," she wrote on Sunday (Feb 17).

Here's hoping her one "bad trip" doesn't actually spoil her Spanish vacation.
