Actor John Leguizamo, who was seen in the 1989 film "Casualties Of War", got a real slap from his co-star Sean Penn while filming a confrontation scene.
Leguizamo said that Penn is a method actor and "slapped him for real" while shooting a particular scene in the war drama directed by Brian De Palma.
"Sean Penn is a sergeant and we kidnap this Vietnamese girl and we had to gang rape her and my character refuses and Sean's gotta slap me into submission.
"Of course, Sean doesn't believe in stage combat because he's too method for that s**t, so he's slapping me for real," contactmusic.com quoted Leguizamo as saying.
The 49-year-old has been seen in films like "Die Hard 2", "Hangin' with the Homeboys" and "Regarding Henry".
