For Brendan Fraser , it was nearly a wrap on The Mummy .
The actor recalled on Tuesdays episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show that he was choked out accidentally while filming a hanging scene for the 1999 blockbuster after director Stephen Sommers demanded more realism from his reaction to the simulated pain.
I was standing on my toes with the rope [around my neck], and you only got so far to go, Fraser told Clarkson . And Stephen ran over and he said, Hey, you know, youre choking can you sell it? And I was like, Alright, fine. So I thought, One more take, man.
That particular scene saw Frasers handsome scoundrel of a character on the verge of execution in an Egyptian prison. While The Mummy made Fraser a leading man and bona fide Hollywood star, it nearly killed him when the stunt went terribly wrong.
The camera swooped around and I went up on the toes, and the guy holding the rope above me, he pulled it up a little higher. And I was stuck on my toes and I had nowhere to go but down, Fraser said. So, he was pulling up and I was going down.
