Can't believe my eyes.A child in bed with a grown lion.wtf was wrong with these people
She Let a Lion Sleep in Her Bed... And Paid the Price
In the early 1970s, Hollywood actress Tippi Hedren and her 14-year-old daughter, Melanie Griffith, made a shocking decision.
They brought a full-grown lion named Neil into their California home—not just for a short visit, but to live with them full time.
Why?
Because they were working on a movie.
The film was called Roar, and it featured 25 real lions, leopards, and other wild animals. To get ready for it, they decided to live closely with these creatures—turning their lives into a real jungle.
At first, it felt like a wild dream. The lion played in the pool. It curled up under the bed covers.
But that dream quickly turned into a nightmare.
- Tippi’s arm was badly cut by a leopard.
- Melanie’s face was scratched.
- The camera director was almost killed.
They thought the movie would take 9 months to finish. It ended up taking 5 years.
By the time Roar came out in 1981, the family had gone through serious physical injuries and emotional stress.
Looking back, Tippi gave a clear warning:
“No matter how gentle they seem… wild animals are never truly tame.”
She was right. A lion is strong enough to break a zebra’s back with just one hit.
So imagine what it could do to a child sleeping beside it.
What began as a bold idea for a Hollywood movie turned into a frightening lesson.
Some instincts can’t be trained. Some animals aren’t meant to live in homes, be hugged, or treated like pets.
