“We used to fuck with each other all the time but it just so happened that, this one week, my girlfriend was in town and he runs into the room. The girl I was with at the time was terrified.”
She covered up and she ran into the kitchen and he picked me up and I didn’t have anything on so now I’m naked on his shoulder. We’re in the hallway, we’re wrestling around.”

This was when thePeaky Blindersstar went around, telling people that his co-star knocked him out. The two have always been respectful of each other in front of the media, and have continued to compliment each other on their careers.
