British movie hardman RAY WINSTONE almost ruined his acting career after he headbutted a director who physically moved him during a scene.
The Sexy Beast star made his name playing a teenage thug in harrowing British drama film Scum, before winning a string of tough-guy roles on the big screen.
Winstone admits his violent persona wasn't restricted to his acting - he got into several fights with co-stars, and he even headbutted a film-maker while working as an extra.
He tells Britain's The Guardian, "I mean, I was punching people and everything. They deserved it, don't worry. A couple of things happened on set where I thought people were rude and that, and they got a clump. I remember years ago I was an extra, just an extra, and instead of asking me to move - he was a big fella - the director just picked me up and moved me. And I headbutted him. You know, he shouldn't have done that, but I shouldn't have done that either. I just done it."
