Rosamund Pike is revisiting a harrowing encounter that shook her nearly two decades ago. During a recent sit-down with Magic Radio, the esteemed actress of 'Gone Girl' fame disclosed a mugging incident that occurred in the streets of London. According to The Independent, this harrowing experience unfolded in 2006.
"I was strolling down a road, engaged in a phone call with my mother, when out of nowhere, I was mugged," she recounted, her voice tinged with a hint of the trauma still lingering. "The mugger yanked the phone from my hand so violently that all my mother could hear on the other end was my piercing scream, a heavy thud, and then silence as the line went dead."
The Independent has reported a recent surge in street crimes involving the snatching of mobile phones in London, with authorities witnessing an alarming 151 percent increase over the past year.
Pike, a native Londoner, has adorned the silver screen in numerous projects throughout her storied career. Her credits include but are not limited to 'Die Another Day' (2002), 'Pride & Prejudice' (2005), 'Surrogates' (2009), 'Jack Reacher' (2012), 'Beirut' (2018), 'Saltburn' (2023), and the upcoming 'Hallow Road' (2025). In 2015, she garnered an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress for her stellar performance alongside Ben Affleck in 'Gone Girl' (2014).
Furthermore, Pike charmed audiences with her portrayal in 'The Wheel of Time' for three seasons, until Prime Video recently announced its cancellation.
