“I wasn’t going fast, the car just had a mind of its own when it hit the bank,” he told the newspaper. “I cut the corner and then we rolled. Suddenly it all came together.”

“I never want to do that again,” he added. “It’s the first time that I have ever rolled a car.”

Sources say the 41-year-old Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom star left with no injuries and the TV documentary moved forward with production.
