Aug 10, 2012

London: Actress Rachel Weisz was scared as she filmed stunts for her film “The Bourne Legacy”, insisting the scenes were a challenge for her.

The 42-year-old, who is married to James Bond actor Daniel Craig, teamed up with Jeremy Renner for the action thriller and she said the shoot was tougher than she anticipated, reported Daily Star.

“Actually, the stunts were terrifying. There were weeks spent on the back of a motorcycle, with Jeremy riding it, jumping over intersections and down staircases, and jumping off bridges in harnesses and onto moving buses.

“It was a challenge. I was genuinely scared – I didn’t have to do any acting at all when we did the action scenes! I would be phoning home saying, ‘I’m terrified’. I’m sure it must have been safe, but it didn’t feel it,” she said.
