Los
Angeles:
Hollywood
actor
Johnny
Depp
was
almost
trampled
over
by
a
horse
while
he
was
filming
for
his
latest
movie
The
Lone
Ranger.
The
50-year-old
actor
insisted
on
doing
as
many
action
scenes
himself
as
possible
in
the
film,
but
he
admits
he
regretted
his
decision
when
he
was
thrown
off
his
horse
Scout,
and
dragged
for
almost
25
yards,

"We'd
been
running
the
horses
pretty
hot
that
day
and
went
down
a
couple
of
paths.
That
all
worked
out
fine
until
we
changed
paths
in
order
to
get
closer
to
the
camera
car.
Scout
decided
to
jump
over
a
few
obstacles.
So
yeah,
user
error," he
said.
"You
would
expect
to
be
riddled
with
fear
or
adrenaline,
but
I
saw
everything
very
clearly,
which
was
the
horse's
muscular
front
legs
moving
at
a
dangerous
speed,"
Depp
recalled.
"I
was
still
holding
on
to
the
mane
like
an
idiot
trying
to
get
back
up
and
at
a
certain
point
you
have
to
make
a
decision,
do
I
go
down
and
hit
the
deck
on
my
own?
Or
do
I
wait
for
the
hoof
to
split
my
face
in
two?
So
I
decided
to
go
down
on
my
own
and
then,
incredibly,
the
horse
lifted
its
front
legs
and
he
missed
me,"
he
added.
It
was
a
scary
moment
for
Depp,
but
he
was
thereafter.
"He
could
have
crushed
me
in
seconds.
I
was
lucky
that
the
horse's
instincts
were
good.
I
hit
the
deck
and
then
stood
up.
Everybody
was
yelling
at
me,
'Stay
down!' But
I
felt
fine
and
just
stood
up
and
shook
it
off."
"After
it
happened,
they
were
a
little
skittish
about
putting
me
back
on
a
horse
for
any
stunts,
but
I
did
get
back
on
and
it
was
fine.
And
Scout
is
a
very
good
horse.
Really,
he
saved
my
life.
I'm
trying
to
buy
him," Depp
said.
