Scarlett Johansson Escapes Death on 'The Other Boleyn Girl' Set

posted on Feb 24, 2010

Scarlett Johansson has rescued by her bodyguard when a wild horse nearly crushed her while filming "The Other Boleyn Girl." "I was riding side saddle with this 400 pound costume on and I always carried around (travelled with) this Bulgarian body guard... It had been raining and we rode up this muddy embankment and suddenly the horse was being temperamental," the beauty actress explained. "He (the horse) reared up and I felt majestic on top until his whole a** slid underneath him and he started to roll over on one side."

She added, "I thought for sure this was going to crush my legs and out of nowhere my Bulgarian bodyguard flew in and stop, dropped, and he rolled, and he carried me sailing through the air! I knew he would save my life one day, and he did."
