1. Johnny Depp's Life Hung In The Balance As Horse Drags Him 25 Yards In The Lone Ranger
Popular A-list actor Johnny Deep was very close to being killed or seriously disfigured and subsequently unrecognisable after a stunt during filming went greatly wrong and could have been fatal for the 50-year old. Depp was riding a horse named Scout when the saddle came loose and he was thrown from the reigns - left barely hanging on while being dragged 25 yards. 'My horse had it in for me. Scout decided to jump over a few obstacles. 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? I decided to go down and, incredibly, the horse lifted its front legs and he missed me.' - said Johhny Depp. The Pirates of the Caribbean star was incredibly lucky he wasn't greatly harmed from the incident as a horse's legs are incredibly powerful and can be fatal when trampling a human being. Not to mention the terrifying prospect of being dragged 25 yards over any harsh terrain at the time. It's not his first brush with death either as Depp survived a plane crash in 2011 while filming The Rum Diary.
