Los Angeles, Feb 24 (IANS): Singer Ellie Goulding was nearly punched in the face while she was out running, but she says her nimble footwork got her out of the way.
A man, whom she claimed was "off his face", attempted to smack her with a "Superman punch" -- which involves feigning a leg kick to generate more power -- but fortunately the 28-year-old star used her athletic figure to dodge his fist, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
Goulding wrote on micro-blogging website Twitter: "This old guy off his face literally tried to superman punch me on my run earlier it's a good thing I'm a brick did an impressive dodge."
Goulding, who is dating Dougie Poynter, later admitted she was considering retaliating but decided against it because she didn't actually know what the man's problem was.
"I couldn't take him out because I didn't really know what his deal was," she said.
