Dustin Hoffman Was Once Held at Gunpoint After Being Caught in Bed With Married Woman

“When you have a gun pointed at you, first of all, that hole is much bigger than the actual hole,” Hoffman said. “And you realize how, any second, any second he’s going to pull that trigger because his finger is on the trigger and you think any second he’s going to.”

“You realize, ‘That’s it, that’s it, I’m gonna die, I’m gonna die, the next second, the next second, the next second,’” he added. “And you’d do anything to avoid getting killed.”

The close brush with death was enough to douse the flames of his passion. In fact, when O’Brien asked whether the pair “continued the festival,” after her husband calmed down, the 89-year-old replied, “No.”
