The Big Bang Theory's Kaley Cuoco Outran Death As She Set Herself On Fire

The Big Bang Theory star shared one of the most frightening stories that happened to her. The actress was in Italy for her next TV show, The Flight Attendant, a thriller where Kaley plays... you guessed it... a flight attendant! Her character in the series, Cassandra Bowden, will have to deal with a lot of conflicts.

The series starts in Dubai, where the character wakes up with a severe hangover and a dead body next to her. Just like her character, Kaley will be travelling around the globe. The actress who played Penny, headed to Italy earlier this week.

The 34-year-old actress had the chance to try new experiences, as she was seen whizzing around Rome on a Vespa while shooting. Kaley also experienced even more dangerous incident during her stay. Cuoco shared the story on Instagram, where she revealed she thought she was being attacked in a bar during a night out with her girlfriends, however, the reality was something totally unexpected.

'Out of nowhere, this guy comes behind me and, what I’m thinking is he’s attacking me, and he’s patting me down.'

She continues: ‘[I think] I’m getting attacked! I’m hearing someone saying, “fuoco, fuoco, fuoco”, my narcissistic brain goes, “yes I’m miss Cuoco, yes, do you want a picture, of course”. I’m literally thinking they’re saying “Cuoco, Cuoco, Cuoco”.’

She then realised her hair caught fire from a candelabra that was lit behind her.

‘My hair lived, I had a shot after that. The jacket lived. My neck lived. And we had a great night,’ Kaley said. ‘You see videos, of mostly women, of their hair going up in flames and you think what an idiot, how did she get so close to that, who does that, dumb! Well, I did.'

Thankfully the man wasn't attacking her and managed to put the fire down and save Kaley from the flames.
