The story of Walton Goggins' heroic actions on the set of Cowboys & Aliens has taken a new turn, with Olivia Wilde sharing a personal anecdote that highlights the actor's bravery and quick thinking. In a recent podcast appearance, Wilde recounted a harrowing incident that occurred during the filming of the 2011 sci-fi western. During a high-speed horse chase with Daniel Craig and Harrison Ford, Wilde's horse suddenly bucked, causing her to fall and hit her head and back. As she lay on the ground, obscured by a lip of dirt and a cloud of dust, she felt the weight of the horses behind her approaching, their hooves thundering towards her. In a split second, Goggins, who was riding ahead, realized the danger and instinctively turned his horse sideways, creating a barrier between Wilde and the oncoming horses. This quick action likely prevented a more severe accident, as the horses split around Goggins, and he managed to control his horse despite the chaos. Wilde's account of the incident showcases Goggins' exceptional riding skills and his willingness to put himself in harm's way to protect his fellow cast members. This real-life heroics story adds a layer of depth to the actor's already impressive body of work, reminding us that behind every great actor is a person with a strong sense of responsibility and courage.
