WASHINGTON: Hollywood actor Jared Letto shared an incident on Twitter about a close shave with death.

The 'Suicide Squad' star "nearly died" during a rock climbing session with professional rock climber Alex Hannod, reported Fox News.

The 48-year-old tweeted a picture of himself hanging 600 feet up on a mountain wall along with another image of his climbing rope that nearly snapped after getting cut by a rock.

Not to sound dramatic, but this is the day I nearly died. Took a pretty good fall climbing with @AlexHonnold at Red Rock. Looked up and within seconds the rope was being cut by the rock while I dangled some 600 ft in the air. I remember looking down at the ground below. pic.twitter.com/CGd6kIM5o5

It was a strange moment - less fear, more matter of fact, and slightly melancholy. The adrenaline came after, when I got back on the wall. But we made it through and lived to see another day Overall it was actually quite fun. we continued climbing into the night... pic.twitter.com/Ua6DMLV7fE
