Bulgarian bodyguard saved my life - Scarlett Johansson
Scarlett Johansson praised her Bulgarian bodyguard for saving her life when a temperamental horse nearly crushed her, world entertainment media said.
The incident reportedly happened while shooting the 2008 film The Other Boleyn Girl.
The Other Boleyn Girl, directed by Justin Chadwick, is adapted from the 2001 novel of the same name by Philippa Gregory. The film, set in the 16th century, tells the romanticised account of the life of Mary Boleyn, played by Johansson, who was the one-time mistress of King Henry VII, and her sister Anne, the king's second wife.
Several entertainment media quote Johansson, retelling the event, as saying "I was riding side saddle with this 400 pound costume on and I always carried around (travelled with) this Bulgarian bodyguard."
"It had been raining and we rode up this muddy embankment and suddenly the horse was being temperamental. He reared up and I felt majestic on top until his whole ass slid underneath him and he started to roll over on one side," she was quoted as saying.
"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," Johansson said.
In all reports, the Bulgarian bodyguard remained nameless.
