After becoming an investor in women’s professional soccer, Jessica Chastain is ready to take one for the team.
The actress wants to get back to work and on set for what seems to be her new movie The Forgiven, which in the age of coronavirus means regularly shoving a Q-tip up her nose for an entire month. An experience Chastain extensively documented in a video montage she shared on her Instagram account on Thursday.
In the minute-long video, the actress demonstrates the process of what it takes to responsibly return to set and stay healthy. Chastain uses the Let’s Get Checked Coronavirus Test in the clip, gasping as her dad—a trained paramedic—attempts to stick the long swab up her nostril. “Oh, I already hate it. Wait, one second. I hate it,” she yells.
And it seems like the experience doesn’t get a whole lot better with time and practice. During week two, the actress accuses her assistant of poking her in the eyeball from the inside before accidentally spilling all the liquid needed to mail the swab back to the lab. By week three, while still deeply unpleasant, Chastain is swabbing herself like an old pro while weeping.
According to the actress, however, repeatedly stabbing herself with a cotton swab is well worth the five seconds of pain if it means keeping everyone around her healthy. “Happy to get back to work,” she wrote in the caption of the testing montage. “I’ll shove a Qtip up my nose to my brain any day to ensure everyone’s on-set safety. I hate this but I love them more.”
