4. Isla Fisher Almost Drowns Filming Now You See Me (And Crew Just Think It's Great Acting)
Actress Isla Fisher was close to drowning while filming a scene for Now You See Me and was very lucky she came out of it relatively unscathed. The 37-year old was filming a magic-trick scene when she found herself stuck underwater for around three minutes as a chain was caught, subsequently keeping her there. 'My chain got stuck. I had to really swim to the bottom; I couldn't get up. Everyone thought I was acting fabulously. I was actually drowning. No one realised I was actually struggling.' - she said. Fisher, who is married to Sascha Baron Cohen, managed to free herself using a quick-release switch, and a stuntman who was nearby also aided her in the escape. A rather terrifying ordeal that would make many a little gun-shy about wanting to complete that scene - or at least pass it on to a stunt double. She revealed it was her first near-death experience, but oddly enough wasn't exactly in celebratory mood for such a landmark - nor does the former Home and Away star wish for a second.
