Keira Knightley revealed that she almost got killed when a stampeding herd of cattle was about to trample her. The Bend It Like Beckham actress expressed her gratitude towards God because her life was still intact even after a herd of cows came running towards her.

Seeing the herd wildly running towards her, Keira, who was taking a break between scenes during the filming of The Duchess, ran for her life. “I went for a walk in where we were staying and I turned around and an entire herd of cows were running at me down a hill. I’ve never run so fast in my life. I actually managed to vault this incredibly high stonewall,” Contactmusic quoted her as saying. “Death by cow would be a really bad way to go. They weren’t even bulls, they were dairy cows,” she added.

Keira Knightley has been roped in to star in Fox’s Sci-Fi thriller titled Never Let Me Go. Actors Andrew Garfield and Carey Mulligan will star alongside the Atonement star in the cloning-themed film. Director Mark Romanek of One Hour Photo fame will helm the project. The film’s story revolves around a trio who grow up in a boarding school with no contact or knowledge of the outside world, until they discover that they are clones grown for the sole purpose of organ donation. Knightley is also set to star in The Beautiful and the Damned and the remake of My Fair Lady.
