Dominic Cooper has revealed that he almost blinded his Dracula Untold co-star Luke Evans with a sword while filming.
The 36-year-old star said in an interview with Shortlist magazine, "I nearly poked Luke's eye out with a sword.
"We were trying to be careful and not use metal swords, and I think because of movement within the sword it bounced back into his eye – so I don't take full responsibility. It was pretty terrible."
On playing the villain Mehmed in the film Cooper added: "Mehmen is a terrifying man and desperate to take over the world.
"I love parts like this because you can be daring and they're quite eccentric and over the top. And I'm wearing golden armour."
Dracula Untold is in cinemas from October 3.
