Rhett in gun drama

You wait months for news on Rhett Giles, and suddenly two stories come along at once.

Australia’ss Daily Telegraph reports that Rhett Giles (Paris) came close to being shot while filming for a new Hollywood action movie on the Caribbean island of Trinidad. Giles was involved in a scene in which two actors ‘shijacked’s a car and drove it down a street, as Giles fired blanks at them. However, police mistook this fictional act of violence for the real thing, and ordered the two actors out of the car as they aimed their weapons at them.

Rhett is reported to have run down the street shouting “no, no, stop – it’ss just a movie”, prompting the police to point their weapons at him. “It was only later I realised just how dangerous the situation was,” he said.

Fortunately, the film’ss local advisors quickly intervened, and the whole situation was resolved without harm.
