Olivia Wilde revealed a harrowing on-set incident where actor Walton Goggins saved her life while filming the 2011 film 'Cowboys & Aliens.' The terrifying event occurred during a scene involving a high-speed horse gallop with dozens of horses following behind.
Wilde was unexpectedly bucked off her horse, falling near a ditch and losing sight of the charging animals due to dust. In a split second, Goggins maneuvered his horse to block Wilde's body, absorbing the impact of the stampede and preventing her from being trampled.
She expressed deep gratitude, stating Goggins is a real-life hero for his courageous actions that day. The film, set in 1873 Arizona, featured Wilde as a mysterious woman and Goggins as an outlaw. Despite its cast, 'Cowboys & Aliens' did not meet box office expectations.
