\u201cMy hero!\u201d \u2014 Olivia Wilde<\/a>, probably. Walton Goggins<\/a> saved Wilde from being run over by a stampede of horses on the set of Cowboys & Aliens. \u201cWalt Goggins saved my life on that movie,\u201d Wilde told the Armchair Expert<\/a> podcast. \u201cHe 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.\u201d She fell off her horse into a ditch and hit her head, so the other horses couldn\u2019t see her. She worried that she was going to die because the horses wouldn\u2019t be able to stop in time. \u201cWalt 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,\u201d Wilde continued. \u201cAnd he\u2019s 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\u2019s crazy. He\u2019s a real-life hero.\u201d<\/p>\n
