Hard-man actor Ray Winstone has branded his role in new movie Beowulf the most grueling of his career. The 50-year-old star, who plays the eponymous hero in the CGI adventure, even broke bones while shooting the epic tale.

He says, "It was the most physical job I have done in my life. I was on wires, running up walls and spinning. You are tearing up a metal frame, which represents the dragon or pounding a stuntman. I would go home every night and relax in a hot bath of Radox."

"I broke two or three ribs. I thought I was Errol Flynn. I swung in to get the dragon's heart and it was like, 'tally-ho, chaps' and I went crash, right into a metal bar."
