Depp was riding horses for a scene when things had gone out of hand.

In a sequence with Armie Hammer’s titular character, the two are seen riding horses.

While Hammer’s horse is running well, Depp starts losing control over his horse.

The steed then speeds up to an extent where the actor is holding onto its mane for his life.

He then falls to its side and can be seen hanging for a while until he ultimately drops down.

That, however, was not the end of this experience as the horse almost trampled all over him.

Luckily the actor only suffered minor injuries with the rest of the cast and crew extremely worried for him.

Johnny Depp Was Joking Even After Getting Hurt

The moment everyone ran to him, the actor immediately told them to stay away for their own safety.

He allowed only the medics to approach him and take a look at wherever he got hurt.

“Can I tell you what the positive thing is? That my coccyx didn’t take it.”

He joked about how broken bones attract women.

He said he was lucky it was purely minor injuries and nothing too serious that could have led to long-term consequences.
