Los Angeles, July 3 (TIWN) Hollywood actress Julianna Margulies has recounted an upsetting encounter she had with actor Steven Seagal.

"So, I did that and when I got to his hotel room, the casting director was not there and it was a frightening moment because he asked me to sit on a couch and underneath this cushion, I jumped up because there was something hard and he pulled out a gun, and said, 'Oh I must have left my gun there'."  The actress shared that she was scared as had never seen a gun before and was just 23-years-old. 

"I am 23, and I realise I am in an action star's hotel room with a gun, I had never seen a gun before and he is 6'4", and no one knows where I am. He asked me to come into the bedroom because he was tired and he asked to read my palm. He put the gun down so I was calming down a little bit and he read my palm and told me that he was a healer and told me I had weak kidneys," she said.  Margulies then talked about how he was reading her palm.

"I thought 'is this the shtick that works on women?' This is ridiculous and I thought, 'Oh my God he thinks this is going to make me think he's some sort of almighty healer and stay'. Anyway, he read the next palm and got in there and started giving me more advice about my body and how he could fix it through his healing," she recalled.
