Hollywood action star Michael Jai White heard a gun click inches from his head during a movie shoot. Another actor had just pulled the trigger. Minutes earlier, Michael had forced the crew to remove the blank round they wanted to use in the scene.
In the video below, Michael explains how refusing to trust the crew may have saved his life.
During the filming of one of his early movies, a scene required another actor to point a gun directly at Michael's head.
The gun was supposed to contain a blank round.
The crew assured him it was safe.
Michael refused.
He insisted they remove the round and film the gunshot separately.
They agreed.
Then came the actual take.
With the gun pointed straight at Michael's head, the other actor accidentally pulled the trigger.
Click.
The gun was empty.
If Michael had trusted the original plan, a blank round could have discharged inches from his head.
He was so shaken that he walked off the set to calm down.
The crew wanted him to trust their safety precautions. Michael trusted his own instincts instead.
One decision may have saved his life.
Would you have refused the scene, or trusted the professionals running the set?
