Rosamund Pike shares harrowing incident in latest chat
Rosamund Pike shares a harrowing tale from 2006, an unforgettable moment of terror she experienced on a busy London street.
The acclaimed actress, known for her roles in Pride and Prejudice and Wheel of Time, found her “normal” walk turned into a nightmare during a casual phone call with her mother. In an interview with Magic Radio, she vividly recalled the incident.
"While talking on a mobile phone, walking down a crowded road, I was mugged," Pike remembered. The phone was snatched from her hand, severing the connection, leaving her mother in alarm as all she heard was a scream and a thud.
Pike's assailant delivered an additional shock when he punched her on the side of her cheek before hastily fleeing the scene. After freeing herself from the attacker, Pike sought safety in a nearby pub, where she reunited with her friends before calling her mother to allay her fears.
Speaking of her mother's experience, Pike acknowledged, "For her, it must have been a highly distressing 15 minutes."
