Patricia Arquette accidentally hit ‘The Act’ co-star Joey King in the head with a Golden Globe

“The Act” co-stars Joey King and Patricia Arquette had a bit of a bumpy start to award season. 

King, nominated at Sunday’s 77th annual Golden Globes, shared photos Monday of a bump on her forehead in the aftermath of the award show that turned into a bruise the next morning. 

“Patricia Arquette accidentally hit me in the head with her Golden Globe,” 20-year-old King tweeted. “That sentence will give me bragging rights for the rest of my life.”

In an after party video shared by InStyle, Arquette stands in a fake elevator playing the role of an operatic viking performer while King stands next to her, making dollar bills rain. But the actresses got a little too into their roles and just as King moves to take a bow, Arquette extends the arm holding her Golden Globe trophy right in front of King’s face. End scene.

“I stole the hat and joey got a bump on her head,” Arquette joked, adding the next morning that “what happens in the elevator stays in the elevator!” 

“No seriously I’m so sorry sweetest one!” she replied to King. 

USA TODAY has reached out to King’s and Arquette’s representatives for further comment.

“The Act,” based on the life of Gypsy Rose Blanchard (King) and the 2015 murder of her mother, Dee Dee (Arquette), landed King her first Golden Globes nomination for best actress in a mini-series or TV motion picture. Arquette landed her third win as best supporting actress in a mini-series or TV motion picture, beating out Helena Bonham Carter (“The Crown”), Toni Collette (“Unbelievable”), Meryl Streep (“Big Little Lies”) and Emily Watson (“Chernobyl”).

In her acceptance speech, Arquette thanked King, whom she called a “phenomenal co-star” and “a gift” before calling on her peers to “beg and plead for everyone we know” to vote in the upcoming presidential election. 

“I’m so grateful to be here and celebrate this but also I know tonight, Jan. 5, 2020, we’re not going to be looking back on this night in the history books,” Arquette said. “We will see a country on the brink of war… and the continent of Australia is on fire. So while I love all my kids so much, I beg of us all to give them a better world.”
