VIDEO: Adam Sandler Lunged at By Cheetah While on Safari

It’s unlikely he’s done any movie stunt to equal this real-life moment.

Actor Adam Sandler shared this video while appearing on American chat show Late Night with David Letterman, showing a cheetah lunge at him while he was on a safari holiday recently.

Sandler explained that he was on holiday with his family when he was invited to enter an enclosure containing some rescued animals.

The Happy Gilmore star said that the keepers told him he could let the cheetah drink water from his hands, but as soon as he bent down, the cheetah had other ideas.

When watching the footage again on the show, Sandler said; "I swear to God when he jumped on me all I was going to do was let him eat me.

"There was not one part of me that was going to fight back. I was like 'All right this is how I'm going to go'."
