Emerald Fennell recently shared a harrowing experience she had in her life. The talented director from Saltburn recounted the terrifying incident when she was almost beheaded by a boat during a trip to Italy. In a podcast called "Where There's a Will, There's a Wake", host Kathy Burke asked the 38-year-old about the reckless things she did while growing up.
Fennell revealed that she has had several close calls in her life, and she sometimes feels like she's in a Final Destination movie where people who cheat death meet their end in gruesome ways. She then casually mentioned the incident where she almost got beheaded by a boat. Comedian Kathy Burke also shared a similar experience where she nearly got decapitated by a helicopter. It seems like everyone in show business needs to be extra cautious around any mode of transportation.
Fennell then shared that her near-death experience was actually the most glamorous thing that has ever happened to her. She was staying in Venice and a friend of hers offered to drive her to the airport on his boat. They were running late, and her friend didn't notice that the anchor was not properly secured inside the boat. As they were speeding through the water, the anchor suddenly flew past Fennell's face, missing her by just half an inch. Thankfully, her friend was able to stop the boat in time, and the anchor landed safely in the water.
Fennell couldn't help but joke about the situation, saying that if she had to go, getting decapitated on a sexy boy's boat in Venice would be a pretty good way to go. However, she also acknowledged that if the anchor had been slightly closer, she wouldn't be here today telling the story.
Despite the traumatic experience, Fennell can now see the humor in it. She even compared her story to her latest film, Saltburn, which includes a scene with a tongue stuck in a bath plughole and a highly sexualized sequence in a cemetery. Fennell shared that the film was a personal and honest project, and she even questioned her own sanity while writing it.
If you have a celebrity story, video, or pictures, you can share it with the entertainment team at The Agency by emailing them or calling their hotline. They would love to hear from you. And if you're curious about Fennell's personal life, you can check out her latest film, Saltburn, which stars Barry Keoghan. The film delves into themes of personal exposure and complexity, and Fennell admits that even she questioned her own sanity while creating it. But at the end of the day, it's all part of the creative process.
