One regular day, he was doing the same, cradling and pinching his cheeks. But it didn’t end well that day.

Its claws just grazed my face, but one whole side of my jaw was suddenly covered in blood”.?Although it was a lion cub, Jackie never even imagined in his wildest thoughts that such a small life can cause bloodshed.

As the Oscar-winning actor came to know the damage the little cub can cause. He immediately decided to turn him over to the place where he bought it from.?“I phoned the guy who?d sold me the cub and said, ‘Take it back. I?m scared.’ So he came over and collected the lion, but I never got my $10,000 back.”?
