Jennifer Garner admits to biting off co-star’s ear?
Jennifer Garner makes shocking confession
While promoting The Last Thing He Told Me, Jennifer Garner shocked fans at an Apple TV press event in Los Angeles, with an unforgettable anecdote about biting a chunk of her co star’s ear during a fight scene.
A clip from the series was shown at the panel, on February 3, featuring a uniformed man, played by actor and stunt performer Sala Baker, who appears at Hannah Hall’s home and launches into an intense fight with the 53-year-old actress’ character, as per The Hollywood Reporter.
Addressing the crowd, Jennifer referred to the 2007 action film that she starred in and Sala, took on the role of a kidnapper.
"Pete Berg, who was the director, told him to try to kill me," the 13 Going on 30 star shared.
"We did not have a lot of choreography, and he told me to do anything I could to survive. He did, and I did, and I ended up scrambling onto his back. I bit his ear, and we have a picture of him missing a chunk of ear, because we were not kidding," she admitted.
Almost two decades later, Jennifer and the 49-year-old New Zealand actor go head to head again in a new fight scene for The Last Thing He Told Me.
"We went for it in a way that the crew, this was maybe our first or second day of shooting, were like, ‘Can you be careful with her?’ I was like, ‘No, no, he’s not going to be careful. I’m not going to be careful. Just back out of the way. I have a score to settle here,'” she went on to share.
Her story left her fellow co star Nicolaj Coster-Waldau stunned, who exclaimed, "Can we just go over that again? You bit a piece of his ear off?”
“Like Mike Tyson,” Jennifer humorously quipped.
