The English actress was attacked while walking on the road and talking on the phone with her mother in London. She gave further details of the horrific incident on Magic Radio and said that the criminal also punched her face.

Pike further said that it wasn't just a case of mugging, but she had bruises on her face as a result of the assault. The assailant also took the phone from Pike's hand. While she was hurt and angry momentarily, she said she knew her mother would have been terrified because of her screaming and the abrupt end of her call.

The actress further said that she gathered her strength, reached a pub to meet her friends in 15 minutes, and called her mother back. Rosamund Pike continued,

"I walked to the pub and called [my mom] when I got there and met my friends, but for her, it was probably a pretty horrible 15 minutes."

On the same podcast, Rosamund Pike's Hollow Road co-star Matthew Rhys recalled a similar incident that is also included in their new project, which has recently debuted in the United Kingdom.

Rosamund Pike wore a lacy headpiece by Dior, which also served as a headpiece at the Golden Globes red carpet last year. She further said that the skiing incident took place on December 23, 2023, and that her face was entirely smashed. Though Pike's face was mostly healed, she still opted for wearing a veil.
