Rosamund Pike is recalling a terrifying incident she experienced nearly two decades ago.

The Gone Girl actress revealed during a recent interview with Magic Radio that she was attacked during a mugging incident in London. The Independent reported that it happened in 2006.

“I was on the phone to my mother, on a mobile phone walking along a road, and I was mugged,” she recounted. “The phone was snatched so all she heard was me scream and a thud and the phone went dead.”

Pike said she was “angry” after being left with a bruise from being punched in the face during the incident. She added that her mom also endured “15 minutes of hell” until she was able to call her back following the attack.

The Independent reported that there has been a recent rise in criminals snatching mobile phones from people on the streets of London, with authorities seeing a 151 percent increase in the last year.

Pike, who was born in London, has starred in dozens of projects throughout her career, including, Die Another Day (2002), Pride & Prejudice (2005), Surrogates (2009), Jack Reacher (2012), Beirut (2018), Saltburn (2023) and Hallow Road (2025). In 2015, she earned an Oscar nomination for best actress for her role in 2014’s Gone Girl, opposite Ben Affleck.

The actress also starred in The Wheel of Time for three seasons, before Prime Video recently announced that it had been canceled.

The Hollywood Reporter has reached out to Pike’s rep to see if she filed any charges against the suspect at the time of the mugging incident.
