Josh Hartnett was horrified when Hollywood detectives insisted on taking him on a tour of the Los Angeles police morgue while he was training for his role as a cop in his new film Hollywood Homicide.
“I’m terrified of dead bodies,” 25-year-old Hartnett told journalists in Los Angeles.
“There was absolutely no way I was going to the morgue but I didn’t want to tell them otherwise they would have given me endless grief.
“Fortunately, in the end we were too busy to go so I got out of it that way.”
Hartnett plays a cop who is also a yoga instructor and would-be actor in the action comedy which also stars Harrison Ford.
