And then he put his paw on me like, I got this.

What do we do next?

So, yeah, it was a scary moment.

The good news is I'm fine.

I have, you know, some scars that are very delicate and dainty and have moved all over my body because apparently that's what happens when you get older.

Your scars move around your body.

And I'm not afraid of a lion.

In fact, whenever I see a lion, I went to Africa not too long ago and everybody else was terrified.

They were petrified because the lions were so close and they were eating prey and all of this.

And I was like, oh, makes me want to go out there and ride on top of them.

Did it make you think that acting was unsafe?

No, no.

Accidents happen.

And I think my mom was really smart.

I think she, you know, she talked to me and she said, you know, it wasn't the lion's fault.

And I understood that.

I went back and worked with the lion.

I was in a hospital for, you know, three or four days or something.

They determined I was okay.

So I went back and I worked with the lion.
