Jennifer Garner bit a stunt performer's ear

Jennifer Garner once bit a stunt performer's ear

Jennifer Garner once bit a portion of a stunt performer's ear off.

The 53-year-old actress has revealed that she accidentally injured a stunt performer while filming The Kingdom, the 2007 action thriller film that also featured Jamie Foxx and Chris Cooper.

The Hollywood star told reporters: "Pete Berg, who was the director, told him to try to kill me. We did not have a lot of choreography, and he told me to do anything I could to survive. He did, and I did, and I ended up scrambling onto his back. I bit his ear, and we have a picture of him missing a chunk of ear, because we were not kidding."

Jennifer likened her ear bite to boxer Mike Tyson biting a chunk out of Evander Holyfield's ear back in 1997.

The actress jokingly added: "Don’t make me mad. I seem nice. I’ve warned you before."

Meanwhile, Jennifer previously revealed that she got stuck in an elevator for more than an hour at San Diego Comic-Con in 2024.

The actress confessed via social media that she spent more than an hour waiting to be rescued during the event.

Jennifer explained on Instagram: "Hey, guys, we’re stuck on this elevator [and] I could use a Wolverine; I could use a Deadpool. I could use someone [and] we’re looking for stairs. OK, thanks for having us here. My first Comic Con!"

Jennifer attended the event for the first time after she starred in the superhero movie Deadpool and Wolverine.

And in one of her Instagram updates, Jennifer joked about her own misfortune as she waited to be rescued.

The actress - who was previously married to fellow film star Ben Affleck - said: "I’m schvitzy [and] I need to blot. 'Don’t cut the blue wire’ is what we’re hearing.

"I think I heard on an episode of 'The Office' or 'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' or something that you’re supposed to sit, so we’re sitting."
