"I got knocked out by Shia LaBeouf, actually," Hardy said. "In Wettest County, apparently."
According to the site, no one could tell whether he was joking, although the following was met with quite a bit of laughter.
"[It was] behind the scenes! No, he did, he knocked me out sparko. Out cold. He's a bad, bad boy. He is. He's quite intimidating as well. He's a scary dude. He just attacked me," Hardy said, reportedly provoking more laughter. "He was drinking moonshine. I was wearing a cardigan, and er, went down. I woke up in Pnut's arms."
Pnut is Hardy's personal trainer, and the actor said the following exchange then took place between the two of them. "He was concerned for me. I was like, ˜What was that? It was lightning fast.'" And he said, ˜That was Shia.' I said, ˜[frick]in' hell. Can we go home now?' ˜No, we've still got three weeks to finish.'"
