Werner Herzog is the fuckin MAN.

Joaquin Phoenix was in car accident on a winding canyon road that flipped his car over. Shaken and confused, Phoenix heard a tapping on his window and a voice say, "Just relax". Unable to see the man, Phoenix replied, "I'm fine. I am relaxed". Then managed to see that the man was Werner Herzog, and Herzog replied, 'No, you're not'. After helping Phoenix out of the wreckage, Herzog phoned in an ambulance and vanished.

In late 2005, during an interview with journalist Mark Kermode regarding Grizzly Man, a sniper opened fire with an air rifle towards them. Kermode panicked when Herzog calmly said, "someone is shooting at us". Shortly thereafter, a bullet hit Herzog. An unmoved Herzog insisted on continuing the interview and said, "It was not a significant bullet. I am not afraid."

I wish I was that cool
