How did Neve Campbell bear attack happen?
Describing her ordeal, Neve Campbell said: “I was playing this role where she’s ‘one with the animals’ and there was a scene where I was getting chased by a bear,”. “They brought this bear on set and they first gave me this big bottle of Coke to feed it.”
When she was told to feed the bear, she obeyed.
After Campbell fed the bear, she recalled, “They said dip your hand in honey and just run. And when you get to the tree over there, turn your hand out and feed the bear.”
The Craft actress did just that, telling Clarkson, “I dipped my hand in honey and I run to this rock and I turn around and I put my hand out and the bear is not slowing down and he’s not coming for my hand.”
“He grabs me by the leg and he pulls me through the forest,” the actress said. “My mother was visiting set and she’s screaming. The whole crew is frozen because nobody can believe what’s happening. All I can think to say is, ‘He’s biting me,’ like it’s not obvious.”
Neve Campbell said she was rescued eventually after the bear wrangler began throwing rocks to distract the animal from her.
