Chris Hemsworth knocked back by Kristen Stewart punch

Australian actor Chris Hemsworth suffered more than a bruised eye when Kristen Stewart punched him on the set of Snow White And The Huntsman - his ego also took a bashing.

Hemsworth nursed a black eye and a painful nose after he was accidentally knocked out by Stewart while filming a fight scene for the film last year (11).

However, the movie tough-guy insists his dented ego was more hurtful than his injuries.

He tells Collider, "There were a few bumps and bruises, one included Kristen punching me in the head... Nothing too serious - my pride more than anything."
