The 44-year-old American comedian and actor discussed the incident as well as his new heist movie Lift, which includes scenes set on an aeroplane.
Reflecting on his real-life plane scare, he told The Graham Norton Show: "I almost died. We were landing and as we did the front wheel broke, and I just saw flames coming out of the front of the plane.
"It was one of those moments when I thought, 'This is it', and I realised that if it happens I was cool with where I was in life. I didn't panic."
Speaking about his role as Cyrus in the new action comedy, which was released to Netflix on Friday, he added: "In this film I am an action star, you can probably tell by looking at my arms!
He went on: "We wanted a film that the world could gravitate towards.
"It's my first leading man role where I am serious.
"It's a proper thriller and for the first time I'm not responsible for the jokes."
Discussing what it was like to film in Belfast, he added: "Northern Ireland was amazing and while I was filming, I was double-dipping on developing my stand-up.
"I was performing in a small intimate comedy club with 125 people and ended up doing 40 shows because we were there for so long.
"When we stopped filming, I was ready to go on tour."
