Marvel’s newest series, “Secret Invasion,” is packed with action and excitement, but Emilia Clarke recently shared a behind-the-scenes story that didn’t go as planned. In a recent interview with Yahoo Entertainment, Clarke revealed that she almost ran over her co-star Samuel L. Jackson with a car while filming.
During the interview, Clarke explained that she was tasked with driving a Lada, an old Russian car, for a scene in the series. However, she faced some challenges with the unfamiliar vehicle. Clarke joked about the multiple shift knobs and pedals, comparing it to a tractor. Despite her experience with driving stick, there wasn’t enough time for her to fully familiarize herself with the car before shooting the scene.
Despite her initial apprehension, Clarke tried to muster up confidence and told herself she could handle it. As she approached the scene with Jackson and the camera crew, she accidentally pressed the accelerator instead of the brake. Luckily, she quickly realized her mistake and found the brake pedal in time to avoid a collision with Jackson. She praised him for being understanding and gracious about the incident.
However, Clarke admitted that she had a moment of vulnerability and shed a few tears after the incident. Thankfully, someone else took over the driving responsibilities for her.
