Walton Goggins Was Olivia Wilde’s ‘Real Life Hero’

“My hero!” — Olivia Wilde, probably. Walton Goggins saved Wilde from being run over by a stampede of horses on the set of Cowboys & Aliens. “Walt Goggins saved my life on that movie,” Wilde told the Armchair Expert podcast. “He 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.” She fell off her horse into a ditch and hit her head, so the other horses couldn’t see her. She worried that she was going to die because the horses wouldn’t be able to stop in time. “Walt 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,” Wilde continued. “And he’s 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’s crazy. He’s a real-life hero.”
