The 23-year-old star was trying to play Five Finger Fillet, in which the players spread their palms and constantly stab the empty spaces between the fingers with a sharp object, reported E! Online.
However, the actor's daring act during the press tour turned frightening when he accidentally stabbed his finger and also damaged a table worth USD 10,000.
