Eva Longoria reveals she suffered while doing her own stunts to play a sexy assassin in new short film

 Leggy lady: Eva Longoria told The View on Thursday 'I hurt my back, I hurt my hip' to play a sexy female fighter in her new short film
Eva Longoria is clearly not on Wisteria Lane anymore.

During a Thursday appearance on The View, the Desperate Housewives actress said she suffered while doing her own stunts to play a sexy female assassin for her new action short film Out Of The Blue.
'I almost killed myself,' the 38-year-old told the hosts. 'I'm oooold... I hurt my back, I hurt my hip.'

In a clip of the Ron Howard Canon Project Imaginat10n short, which she also directed, the actress can be seen karate-chopping a blonde woman who later throws Eva against a book case. She said she had to wear wires at times and worked up a lot of 'sweat.' Jamie Foxx is also involved with the series that can be seen on Yahoo starting Friday.
'I love directing and producing,' Eva said. 'I prefer it, actually.'
The Texan - who looked svelte in a black halter dress while on the daytime talk show - also chatted up her new Hulu Plus series Mother Up! in which she voices an animated character named Rudi Wilson, a former music executive who looks after her two kids.
'Rudi is the mother you never wanted to be - she's the female Peter Griffin,' said Eva.

The ex Mrs. Tony Parker also talked about a photo The View showed off as part of their Throwback Thursday special.
She explains it was difficult finding a picture from her childhood because as the youngest of four, her parents got lazy when it came to pulling out the camera by the time Eva arrived.
She said of the photo, 'I never brushed my hair, I was a tomboy, but on picture day a teacher pulled me out of line and gave me ponytails and brushed my bangs, I remember that,' she says.
'I usually had messy hair.'
When the conversation changed to Halloween, she said that she sews all her nieces and nephews costumes.
'I make them every year,' she said then a photo of the Little Red Riding Hood cape she created for her niece was flashed.
There was no mention of her last boyfriend Ernesto Arguello with whom she split in August.
Eva next stars on the big screen in Frontera with Ed Harris and Amy Madigan.
