The Thumper

[Pop Bitch] Which A-list actor (famed for playing bad guys, boxers and other hard bastards) got a little deep into his method acting and thumped a runner on set who was tasked with adjusting his mic?

BG Notes: Thump = British slang for hitting or punching something or someone with a closed fist. Not necessarily a British actor.

    I’m guessing Dolph Lundren in Aquaman. That i can think of, he ONLY plays the villian. He played a boxer in one of the Rocky movies

    Daniel Day-Lewis
    Gangs of New York?

    The rabbit makes me think of the “Dead Rabbits” in Gangs of New York and Daniel Day-Lewis is known for his extreme method acting. He also holds both British and Irish citizenship so he’s not necessarily a British actor.

    The “basterds” makes me think of Inglorious Basterds, and I know Brad Pitt played a boxer (fight club) and a basterd, and I suppose his Thelma and Louise and Oceans characters could be considered “bad guys” because they were breaking the law…and he’s been doing appearances, but would that count for being “on set”? And it seems against character as well.

    Russell Crowe
    The Mummy
    He’s a part owner of the South Sydney Rabbitohs rugby league team, so the pic could be a clue?

    Actor is obviously schitso or apathetic as he feels nothing or does not even think twice before Physical Contact.

    A *, obviously, who the studios are letting get away with.
    I wouldn’t.

    Yikes, not Christian Bale I hope… Like he needs anymore bad onset publicity.

    Other guess: Mickey Rourke? He’s shooting some boxing film at the moment, might have gotten carried away…
