“Probably Had A Concussion”: Megan Moroney Did Her Own Stunts, Got A Plate Smashed Over Her Head In “Wish I Didn’t” Music Video

Megan Moroney

She does her own stunts, too.

Today, Megan Moroney released a new song called “Wish I Didn’t,” from her forthcoming album Cloud 9, which was accompanied by a very cinematic music video inspired by the 2005 movie starring Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, “Mr. & Mrs. Smith.”

You might also recognize her co-star, Dylan Efron, whose last name you probably recognize because he is the brother to Hollywood actor Zac Efron, notably of High School Musical fame. Dylan has been on reality shows like Season 3 of Peacock’s The Traitors, and more recently he finished in fourth place on Season 34 of Dancing with the Stars, alongside his professional partner Daniella Karagach, which is what I know him from, but he did a great job in this video and it sounds like they got their hands dirty in terms of doing some of the more involved stunts on their own.

There’s a scene in the video where Megan jumps on him and they fight, and then Dylan smashes a plate over her head… I for sure thought that part was fake Hollywood magic of some sort, but it sounds like they actually did all of those things themselves.

During a livestream talking about making the video, Megan said her knees were black and blue from bruises after filming… and she added that she “probably” had a concussion after getting the plate smashed on her head. I’m sure it was a special kind of plate (fun fact: they used to make them out of sugar) that’s made to easily break, but still… ouch:

“Guys, the bruises on my knees after the fight scene… it was wild. Knees were black. It was the end of the day, and we literally only did it twice because I was exhausted. But yeah, we had a stunt coordinator and everything. I need to show y’all the plate getting smashed over my head, because it was… yeah I probably had a concussion over it, but anything for the music video.”

To be fair, she also smashed a wine glass over Dylan’s head, and they had a stunt coordinator to make sure everything was done properly, but it sounds they really went all-in with the making of the video and it turned out great:
