'Snow White and The Huntsman' Star Chris Hemsworth Saved His Co-Star From a Horse Fall
"Snow White and The Huntsman" star Chris Hemsworth saved his fellow actor, Sam Claflin, from a dangerous horse fall while filming an action scene for the latest fairytale movie. Claflin admitted about the Australian actor's heroic act. According to the young English actor, Hemsworth made no hesitation in rescuing him from his painful ordeal with gravity as he fell off a horse.
In an interview during the movie premiere, Claflin shared the story about the accident that happened on set. The "Pirates of the Caribbean" star said that he and Chris never had the experience of dismounting a horse that is still running.
"However, we tried. The director says action! We run in, I decide it probably wasn't a clever idea to slow the horse down because I want to look cooler," Claflin said. His costume which was a top-to-toe armor made it very restrictive for the actor to move freely as he wished.
"I hopped my leg over, my other foot gets caught in the stirrup, my face hits the floor I'm wailing on the ground like a turtle unable to get up," he revealed.
Sam Claflin also admitted that his fall from the horse made him a little bit red-faced. What made him more flushed is the way Chris Hemsworth saved him by doing a style that was close enough to a classic swashbuckler with cinematic effect.
"The most embarrassing thing was that I turn around and look up and Chris just glamorously glides off his horse like James Dean in a medieval film in his leathers, the guy literally made it look so cool, and I'm still struggling to get up, and luckily he managed to help me and get me to my feet," Claflin shared. "I mean what can you say? I'm a lucky man, he's my Prince Charming," the actor joked.
Australian actor Chris Hemsworth has already gained that much attention and stardom for his tough roles in the films "Thor," "The Avengers" and "Snow White and The Huntsman." His good looks are enough to attract a lot of female fans but his generosity and willingness to help someone who is in danger makes him earn a lot of respect especially from his co-star Sam Claflin. He must have also felt somewhat grateful to Chris Hemsworth who was around to help him and save the day.
