LONDON: Comic actor Steve Carell had a near death experience while shooting a fight scene with WWF star The Great Khali in the movie Get Smart.

Thesun.co.uk reports that Carell got a scare and thought he might lose his head when a fight scene with the Indian professional wrestler, whose real name is Dalip Singh, went wrong. Carell said, “My life flashed before my eyes because I wasn’t ready to duck. And if I didn’t duck I would have had my head removed from my body. I would be a torso running around!”
