‘But I did apparently smash my kneecap, so it’s really painful, I’m not allowed to move it for two to three weeks.
‘I’m acting above the kneecap and I have a wonderful double for below the kneecap!’
Jane was first spotted on the set of Irish mystery thriller Harry Wild earlier this month.
The 70-year-old actress will both star and co-executive produce the show for Acorn TV, a streaming service from AMC that focuses on British content.
Production on the show began this month in Dublin and is set to be released next year.
In the eight-part series, Jane is set to play retired English professor Harriet ‘Harry’ Wild, who finds herself recovering from a mugging at the home of her son, who works as a police detective.
While staying at her son’s house, she becomes entwined in a murder investigation that he is working on.
Speaking about the project, Jane said that she had fallen in love with Harry Wild from the moment she read the script.
Daniel March and Klaus Zimmermann, who are co-executive producing the series alongside Jane, said: ‘We are thrilled that the amazing Jane Seymour will be bringing the foul-mouthed, cigarette smoking, whiskey drinking character of Harry Wild to life.’
In March, not long after her 70th birthday and before production on Harry Wild began, Jane was spotted heading out for dinner with her partner David Green.
She displayed her ageless beauty as she arrived at Sunset Strip in Los Angeles with her partner for a meal at French restaurant, Tesse.
