Welch actress Catherine Zeta Jones is recovering following an alleged kidnap attempt in Mexico, the Sun reported exclusively Saturday.
Police said a gang tried to force the actress's limousine off a road, but bodyguards in another vehicle rammed the suspects' car, giving the driver of Zeta Jones' limo an opportunity to escape.
The mother of two who is married to actor Michael Douglas is in Mexico filming the Legend Of Zorro, with Antonio Banderas.
The bodyguards chased the suspects and police subsequently arrested four armed men in San Luis Potosi, four hours north of Mexico City, the Sun said.

Doubt over Zeta-Jones 'kidnap bid'
British actress Catherine Zeta-Jones narrowly escaped an abduction attempt in Mexico, a London tabloid has reported.
An armed gang tried to force the film star's limousine off the road near San Luis Potosi, The Sun said in its Saturday edition.
However, Mexican authorities have questioned the report.
The paper said that Zeta-Jones' bodyguards, travelling in a second vehicle behind the limousine, scuttled the plot by ramming the car carrying the would-be kidnappers.
The 34-year-old Zeta-Jones was in the region, about a four-hour drive north of Mexico City, during shooting on a film. Her husband, American actor Michael Douglas, 59, was not with her during the incident.
San Luis Potosi Governor Marcelo de los Santos and local police representatives said today that they had no knowledge of any abduction attempt against Zeta-Jones.
Film producer Lloyd Philips was quoted in the Mexican press as saying only that there was a small accident in which another vehicle struck the car in which the actress was riding.
