Hollywood actor Jennifer Garner recently shared a vivid memory of an intense fight scene from a previous project where she bit off a "chunk" of a fellow actor's ear. This revelation came during a panel for The Last Thing He Told Me, reported The Hollywood Reporter.
Garner reflected on reuniting on set with actor and stunt coordinator Sala Baker, nearly two decades after their memorable scene in the 2007 action thriller The Kingdom, directed by Peter Berg. Garner recounted how the director urged realism, offering minimal choreography, leading both actors to improvise, which resulted in Garner biting off a piece of Baker's ear.
The pair reunited for a kidnapping scene in season two of the Apple TV+ series The Last Thing He Told Me. Garner noted that neither of them held back, prompting initial concern from the crew. Her co-star Nicolaj Coster-Waldau expressed surprise at the tale, while Garner humorously defended her actions. The actress also shared her enthusiasm for playing Hannah Hall in the series, highlighting the character's determination as central to the show's emotional depth.
