Forest Whitaker stabbed as a bouncer

Washington, May 7 : Hollywood actor Forest Whitaker has revealed that he was once stabbed while working as a doorman at a nightclub.

Though the Oscar-winning actor is accustomed to violence on the movie set, acting in films such as Blown Away and The Shield, he wasn't so happy when he sustained a multitude of injuries in real-life.

"In real life - from when I used to do a bit of bouncing - I have been stabbed a few times," Contactmusic quoted him, as saying.

"It was a guy who was a little... I don't really want to talk about it. He was just pissed (annoyed) at something going on and I was trying to control him, so ultimately he pulled a knife on me.

"I've got stabs and bites from people. I haven't been shot though!" he added.
