• Jennifer Coolidge feels “lucky to be alive” after being impaled on a garden stake.
• Jennifer has received numerous honours, including two Screen Actors Guild Awards.
• Josh was equally as impressed by Jennifer’s method of working.

The 61-year-old actress has disclosed that she had had a close call with death in her own backyard garden.

Jennifer – who plays Tanya McQuoid in the HBO series ‘The White Lotus’ – told Us Weekly: “I was once locked out of the house and I jumped the fence but didn’t know the gardener had put a new stake in the yard. I got impaled. It was a bloody mess. I’m lucky to be alive.”

Throughout her career, Jennifer has received numerous honours, including two Screen Actors Guild Awards, a Primetime Emmy Award, and a Golden Globe Award. But, when she was younger, she truly had dreams of becoming a successful musician.

She shared: “I went to an orchestra camp for three summers. I played the clarinet. I thought I might do it for a living.”

Josh Duhamel, meanwhile, recently acknowledged being a “big fan” of Jennifer.

In the movie “Shotgun Wedding,” the 50-year-old actor and the honoree actress co-starred, and Josh said he enjoyed working with Jennifer.

He said: “I’m a huge fan. She is a wonderful person to have around the set. She’s very chill.”

Josh was equally as impressed by Jennifer’s method of working.

The actor shared: “What I’ll never forget about working with Jennifer was that we didn’t know if she was like, doing it on purpose or if it was like part of her thing – it’s almost like an Andy Kaufman thing.

“It makes everybody feel like we need another take, and she’s like, ‘No, I’m good.’ And then you see it, and it’s brilliant … She’s one of those enigmas.”
