London, April 28 (Inditop.com) Actress Brooke Shields had a dreadful encounter with a lioness while shooting for her 1992 film “Running Wild”. She says it was “pretty traumatic”.

Femalefirst.co.uk reports that the 44-year-old was bitten by the animal on the bottom.

“My worst animal encounter was on a movie in South Africa, ‘Running Wild’, where I played a woman who raised baby leopards,” she said.

“At one point, I turned my back on a lioness and she tackled me to the ground. Actually, she was totally tame, but she bit my butt. I’m sure for her it was like, ‘Yum, prime beef.’ That was pretty traumatic. I didn’t get a scar,” she added.
