WALTON GOGGINS: REAL-LIFE HERO!
Olivia Wilde reveals that her Cowboys & Aliens costar literally saved her life on set — and she's never forgotten it.
Talk about a true leading man! Olivia Wilde is opening up about a terrifying moment from the 2011 sci-fi western Cowboys & Aliens, and it's all thanks to costar Walton Goggins that she's here to tell the tale. According to Deadline and E! Online, Wilde recently reflected on a harrowing horse accident that went down during filming — and Goggins stepped in as her real-life hero. "Walt Goggins saved my life on that movie," Wilde revealed, adding that the scary incident happened while she was galloping alongside some pretty famous faces, including Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford.
Wilde didn't dive into all the details of the accident itself, but her gratitude is crystal clear: Goggins' quick thinking and bravery literally prevented what could've been a tragedy. It's the kind of behind-the-scenes story that doesn't always make it into the entertainment headlines, but it's the kind of moment that sticks with you forever — and clearly has stuck with Wilde!
Goggins has had quite the career since Cowboys & Aliens, but this act of heroism on set proves he's the real deal both on camera and off. Pretty wild to think that a sci-fi western about aliens invading the Old West gave us an actual hero story playing out in real life!
