'I Almost Died' - Jameela Jamil Speaks Up On An Incident While Shooting For 'The Good Place'

Shooting for immensely long hours can certainly be and is an arduous thing for the actors and we have come across several instances having witnessed actors fainting, feeling unwell and a lot other things due to various reasons.

A similar instance happened with Jameela Jamil when she was shooting for the first season of The Good Place. During an appearance on Monday's Jimmy Kimmel Live, Jamil shared the unbelievable story of the time she, by co-star Ted Danson's suggestion, tried to work out to keep her energy up on set, and, well, it didn't work out.

The star told host Jimmy Kimmel that Danson, being such a TV veteran, was a guiding light. "He taught me how to act, but mostly he was just very good at teaching me how to stay alive," she shared. "He told me early on, because I kept on getting a fever just from filming—which shows just how pathetic I was. A doctor once told me I'm clinically weak, which isn't a condition, it's just sad. But Ted noticed that I was fatigued and yet was running circles around me. And he's 40 years older than me!"

Inspired by his energy, the actress decided to take a page out of his book, but she almost ended up in the Good Place herself! As she revealed, "I started trying to jog because of him. And the first time I tried, I almost died!"

Jamil further gave the whole story where she said, "I went jogging. I went at about 6 p.m. in the evening. I went out dressed like a ninja, head to toe in black 'cause L.A. doesn't feel very safe on the street. I'm jogging, I'm running down a big road called La Cienega, there's a traffic stop, I guess you call it...There's three lanes of traffic on either side, I stop because of the traffic. I'm listening to Beyoncé very loud. And I guess because I'm very tall, I have disturbed a branch on the tree."

She continued, "What I don't know is—and I find this out as kind of a cloud of black descends upon me—that there's a beehive on that tree. And I had very much so pissed off the beehive that are now all over me, so I just start running into traffic. That is my natural instinct to run into six lanes of traffic. I run in, a car hits me. Yeah, I get knocked over by a car. I've just started filming The Good Place, by the way. But the car's, thankfully, slowing down because it sees a woman covered in a perm of bees, so hit they hit me while slowing down."

As this terrifying jogging saga continued, "I go down. The bees come down on me. I get back up. I start running again. The bees continue to chase me for another five minutes, 'til finally, I turn a corner, I run down the street called 3rd, which is a very big street. There's a taco club, I guess? It's a club/taco bar. There are people standing outside smoking, and I think to myself—and it's terrible when you're in a moment of emergency to realize what an awful person you are—but I looked at those people smoking and I was like, 'You already don't care about your lives, so I'm gonna run at you with these bees."

Joking about her modicum of fame at the time, the star quipped, "'I'm on a show!' So, I lead the bees to all of these smoking people, and then I get down on the ground and I army crawl into the juice bar next door and watch everyone get stung. There are handbags flying, cigarettes flying."
