Georgie Henley, who plays the role of Lucy Pevensie in The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, was preparing for the underwater scenes in the film by taking scuba diving classes when she fainted.
Georgie had decided to undertake a PADI scuba diving course to help provide her with handy skills. “I couldn’t complete my licence ’cause I had a bit of an accident – I fainted underwater,” she revealed. “It was on my birthday as well, which is pretty crazy. I wasn’t out for long.”
Georgie added: “I was very ill, I had an ear infection and a cold, we’d literally just flown in about two days earlier, so it just meant that I wasn’t able to do it, but I will be able to finish it because we learnt half the skills and they did adapt a shot, so I could participate.”
Her co-star Skandar Keynes, who plays Edmund Pevensie, relished the opportunity, saying: “It was really fun going and trying something new and pushing ourselves and gaining a new skill that I probably wouldn’t have done otherwise, and it’s great now I have a licence and I go anyway I want.”
They filmed in pools on the studio lot to capture the scenes in the film with proper pool safety protocols in place.
That’s bad, luckily she’s still alive 😀
It’s terrible.. I hope she’s okay now, and didn’t get any Trauma.. (hope she read this)
So did Georgie’s double do the shots for her?
Poor Georgie she almost drowned and the Narnia movie wouldn’t be completed. So YAY she didn’t drown
That would be scary. Atleast it didn’t happen during shooting.
Awww… that’s too bad. I’ve fainted during an x-ray and at school, so I know what it feels like to faint. It’s scary. 🙁
Why do we always learn about these accident like 6 monthes AFTER they happen? Very surprising!
That’s because most everything that happens while making a movie is private until after a movie is released.
this is one of the best pictures ever created and I like it the most !!!!!!!!
