Sarah Michelle Gellar frightened by Andy Garcia’s acting

Sarah Michelle Gellar has revealed she was shocked by how realistically violent co-star Andy Garcia became while they filmed new movie The Air I Breathe.

Andy plays a crime boss in the film and had to beat up their co-star Brendan Fraser and attack the former Buffy star herself too - and scenes were so tough, Sarah had to leave the set to recover.

Sarah explained: “I had a hard time separating the scene from what is reality. And at one point I had to leave.”

“I didn’t know the scary side of Andy. I’m a small girl, and he doesn’t let go. When he throws me up against a wall - that’s actuality.”
