United Kingdom, Feb. 4 -- Jennifer Garner once bit a portion of a stunt performer's ear off.

The 53-year-old actress has revealed that she accidentally injured a stunt performer while filming The Kingdom, the 2007 action thriller film that also featured Jamie Foxx and Chris Cooper.

The Hollywood star told reporters: "Pete Berg, who was the director, told him to try to kill me. We did not have a lot of choreography, and he told me to do anything I could to survive. He did, and I did, and I ended up scrambling onto his back. I bit his ear, and we have a picture of him missing a chunk of ear, because we were not kidding."

Jennifer likened her ear bite to boxer Mike Tyson biting a chunk out of Evander Holyfield's ear back in 1997.
