LL Cool J<\/a> was nearly killed by an animatronic shark while making 1999 movie ‘Deep Blue Sea’.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

LL Cool J was nearly drowned by a robotic shark<\/p>\n

The rapper\/actor played a chef in the horror film – about a group of scientists at a remote underwater research facility who are hunted by the highly intelligent genetically engineered sharks they created in a bid to find a cure for Alzheimer’s disease – and he’s revealed he nearly drowned when a remote-controlled shark grabbed his leg and held him underwater.<\/p>\n

He told the Guardian newspaper: “One of them almost drowned me. At that time the animatronic sharks weren\u2019t AI; they were controlled by a guy with a joystick. <\/p>\n

“He pushed the button, the shark grabbed my leg, then they called lunch and the shark just parked me underwater. After I managed to pull my leg out and get out of there, there was one dude left on set sitting there with a cigarette and he went: ‘I guess you made it out, huh?'”<\/p>\n

LL Cool J<\/a> went on to admit he had a wonderful time making the movie even if filming was precarious at times.<\/p>\n

\nHe added: “Making that film was dangerous, with a lot of water flying around, but it was a great experience. I had a fun time working with Sam [L Jackson]. Watching him get eaten was my favourite part.”<\/p>\n

\nThe rapper’s co-star Thomas Jane previously admitted he was terrified of sharks before filming the movie and his underwater scenes filmed with real creatures in the Bahamas filled him with terror.<\/p>\n

\nHe told Entertainment Weekly: “The first day, I was in a cage, but the next day, they swam me 30 feet down … Then this guy yanks the breather off me and the water’s churning with blood and guts and stuff … It was so terrifying that I don’t want to remember it.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
