Veteran actor Woody Harrelson says he had been robbed at gunpoint early on in his career.
The 55-year-old actor said he was just booked for "Cheers" and bought a Porsche as a gift to himself, but one night he was walking to his car in a parking garage and that's when he was robbed, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
"A guy came up and robbed me. Put a gun to my head. That was really an uncomfortable night," he said.
Harrelson said the man took his money, and then demanded the keys to the car. But the actor, who was 23-year-old at the time, could not find them. The man said he was going to count to five and needed the keys before he got there.
"He got to four and I said, 'I'm going to die now,'" said Harrelson.
However, someone else entered the garage, and scared the man away.
