The acting world isn’t all glitz and glamour! Jeff Bridges has revealed he almost died when a stunt sequence in the Ridley Scott film ‘White Squall’ went down.
The 59-year-old actor recalls, “It was this scene where I have to save all the kids. It was going to be a 10-minute scene and they had jet engines providing hurricane winds and making the water look like the ocean. So all the fumes from the jet engines were in the air and my body started to shut down because I wasn’t getting enough oxygen.
About halfway through the scene, I thought, ‘I’m going down!’ Luckily, my foot was caught on a wire, so I managed to raise myself out of the tank and draw attention to myself.”
