JK Simmons could have Miles Teller to thank for his Whiplash Oscar as he had his rib ACTUALLY broken by his co-star.

Out promoting his new movie War Dogs, Teller told The Guardian that his favourite part of Whiplash was making Justice League's Simmons literally crack a rib during filming.

"JK cracked a rib," said Teller, explaining it happened when his character charged at Simmons's and flattened him.

"I'm not proud of it, but after a guy's slapping you and yelling at you for three weeks straight, it's nice to finally… as a character, I'm speaking! I always dug that scene because he just finally snaps."



Whoops.

"He owes me one, for sure," Teller added, which is a bold statement considering he broke one of his co-star's bones.



During the revealing interview, he also discussed reigniting his previous passions now that he's made it big.

"I was smoking multiple times a day every day," said Teller. "You're in theatre school in New York, do it!"

"But I slowed down on it and really stopped for a while because my career started going and I didn't want to mess it up when I was high.

"I'm kind of easing back into it."

Though he also admitted that he wasn't thrilled when he read that Esquire cover story last August.



"For the average person, they are reading this article, they haven't met you, they're like, 'Oh Miles is an asshole. You didn't hear it? You didn't read that Esquire?

"Yeah, she said he was an asshole – he must be!"

Teller is currently shooting a movie about firefighters tackling a wildfire that raged through Arizona in 2013 with Josh Brolin and Jennifer Connelly.

He will also appear in boxing biopic Bleed for This, and Veteran-inspired film Thank You for Your Service, alongside Amy Schumer.

But if you can't wait till then you can watch the trailer for War Dogs (released August 26 in UK cinemas) below.
