Filming the latest Transformers movie was a painful experience for one of its stars, Shia LaBeouf.

After taking the US box office by storm, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen arrived in UK cinemas on Friday.

And Shia has revealed he had to film his scenes for the action movie whilst suffering from a broken hand, sustained in a car accident.

Shia told a press conference: "When you break your hand it's hard to button your pants let alone do something like this.

"But you've got to do it so you just buck up and get through it. There's only so much you can fake.

"When you have three cameras running at once it takes a long time to rig up some of these stunts so you've just got to do it."
