Walton Goggins once saved Olivia Wilde‘s life!
The 42-year-old actress and filmmaker visited Dax Shepard‘s Armchair Podcast recently and revealed a terrifying story about the time she was almost stampeded by horses while filming the 2011 film Cowboys & Aliens.
“Walt Goggins saved my life on that movie,” Olivia shared. “He did. I had a very bad horse accident, and he saved me. It was me and Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford galloping, like, full sprint across the desert with 40 horses behind us. And it was like we were leading the charge to fight the aliens or whatever.”
The film also starred Paul Dano and Sam Rockwell, with Jon Favreau directing.
According to the Booksmart director, there was a moment when a horse jumped over a “large ditch” and caused her to get bucked off “in the craziest way, leading to Olivia hitting her head and back.
“Unfortunately, I was on the other side of this kind of lip of dirt, meaning that all horses behind couldn’t see me. And there was also a lot of dust. I remember having my ear to the ground and I could hear it and it sounded like thunder, like they were coming towards me. And I had the thought — it sounds so dramatic — but I thought, it’ll be quick. It’ll be like, pulverized applesauce. Out,” she recalled.
Olivia continued, “Walt Goggins had seen [me] ahead of him and in a split second thought to turn his horse sideways right in front of me and let everyone kind of bash into him. And he’s a great rider, so he was able to handle that. People split the two sides around us thinking he had just gone insane, but he was protecting my body on the ground. And so I owe him my life. It’s crazy. He’s a real-life hero.”
Recently, the House alum opened up about the rumored drama that supposedly took place during the Don’t Worry Darling press tour, including sharing insight into her relationship with Harry Styles and whether or not she and star Florence Pugh actually did have a screaming match on set.
