Struggling with the prospect of demise recounted - "Fears of imminent demise"

In an interview with "Interview" magazine, Austin Butler, the 34-year-old star of the drama "The Bikeriders," shared harrowing tales of the dangers he faced during the filming of the movie.

During the production, Butler nearly met his end before shooting even began. According to his own account, he had a close call before filming, a near-death experience that set the tone for the intense journey ahead.

While flying to the set, Butler temporarily lost his vision. For several minutes, he was blind, a disconcerting experience that left him feeling overwhelmed and convinced he was going to die. The cause, he attributed to "a side effect of sleep deprivation."

The filming of "The Bikeriders" was far from safe. Butler recalled riding in groups of 40 on a narrow road without helmets, pushing the limits as the actors raced through cornfields at breakneck speeds. The risk was ever-present, as a camera car kicked up rocks, posing a constant threat to the actors' eyes.

Butler revealed that if one actor had crashed during the dangerous stunts, there was a high risk that all the others could have gone down as well. The tension was palpable, and the stakes were high.

In the same interview, Butler also spoke about the incident on the set of "The Bikeriders" that he had previously discussed with American "Men's Health" magazine. He admitted to fearing for his life before filming began.

Despite the perilous conditions, Butler didn't let the incident deter him. Instead of processing the shock and resting, he went straight to set, determined to see the production through.

The film, directed by Jeff Nichols, was a critical success, and Butler's portrayal of a tough biker earned him a Golden Globe. Butler's new film, "Caught Stealing," is set to hit theatres soon, promising another exciting chapter in his acting career.
