ERIC BANA - BANA'S SCARY U.S. ROAD TRIP

BANA'S SCARY U.S. ROAD TRIP

Aussie actor ERIC BANA was left fearing for his life the first time he visited America, when he found himself driving through notorious gang-run neighbourhoods in Washington, D.C.
The Hulk star toured the U.S. in a Ford Mustang when he was 22, and quickly realised it wasn't the dream roadtrip he'd anticipated.
He tells Details magazine, "It sounded like a great idea at the time, but after 10 days straight without talking to anybody, you start to think, 'What the f**k am I doing here?'"
And things got worse when he stumbled on a crime-ridden corner of the capital.
Bana adds, "I'd be pulling up to street corners, and there were gangs right there, and I'm in this little Mustang by myself. I thought, 'I am f**king dead.'
"I was running red lights, hoping the cops would pull me over."
