Director Werner Herzog enjoys the buzz of being shot at, after dodging bullets on two occasions.

The German filmmaker was attacked by a mystery sniper in Los Angeles in 2006, while he was being interviewed on camera by a BBC movie journalist.

He was hit in abdomen by a metal pellet leaving him cut and bruised, but stunned viewers by reacting calmly.
