Smith KO1 Theron

Charlize Theron walloped by Will Smith Tuesday, 12 May 2009 www.msn.com http://sgstb.msn.com/i/81/D4D239313ACD898B51BC8153AD9BA5.jpg Charlize Theron was 'knocked out' by Will Smith when he showed her the boxing skills he learned for his role as Muhammad Ali in the movie 'Ali'. Will Smith punched Charlize Theron in the face when they first worked together. The actor was preparing to portray legendary boxer Muhammad Ali when he starred alongside the blonde beauty in 2000's 'The Legend of Bagger Vance' - and got carried away showing off his fighting skills. Charlize said: 'The first time I worked with him he punched me in the face. He was training for 'Ali'. I encouraged him to show me a couple of moves. I was completely knocked out!' The 33-year-old actress - who teamed up with the 40-year-old star again for superhero movie 'Hancock' last year - insists she loves working with Will, despite falling victim to his powerful punch. She added: 'Seriously, though, I'd be happy to be punched out by Will anytime. He swore to me that it was an accident.' .... lighten up lads :popcorn:
