Dustin Hoffman says a visit to a married woman’s home ended with her husband pointing a gun at him and ordering him to leave.
She’d invited the actor over believing her husband would sleep through the night.
Recalling the encounter on Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend, Hoffman said: “She thought that once her husband went to sleep that he stayed asleep. I was invited to come over after he went to sleep.”
The husband entered while Hoffman and the woman were together. Hoffman recalled watching the man’s finger on the trigger: “His finger is on the trigger and you think, any second. You realise, that’s it. I’m gonna die. You will do anything to avoid getting killed.”
