Liv Tyler filmed in “scary” real prison

Liv Tyler has spoken about shooting scenes in a real prison.

The 33-year-old actress plays a battered housewife whose husband ends up behind bars in new movie The Ledge, and shot scenes in a real prison.

“We were in a real prison in Louisiana, which is quite a scary place to be,” she revealed. “The door next to the door I had to walk through in one scene was right next to the solitary confinement door with a little glass window and the first cell of eight was a man just standing there, looking so fierce. Not moving.”

“He was one of the most terrifying humans I have ever seen in my entire life. Of course, I asked about his story and he shook me up a little bit.”
