On Monday, Edward Norton was on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon”, and he shared a story about how he actually punched Brad Pitt during filming on the classic David Fincher film.

“It’s the first punch in the movie and I hit him in the ear,” Norton recalled. “Fincher came up to me and said, ‘Hit him, connect with him somewhere.’ I didn’t know what to do and I hit him in the ear.”
He then remembered Pitt’s reaction in the moment.
“He says in the film, ‘Ow! Why the ear?’ Yeah, that was real!” Norton said.
