While Liam, 26, Chris, 32, and Luke, 35, are thick as thieves these days, with the actors all very supportive of one another’s careers, that wasn’t always the case.

During an interview on UK talk show The Graham Norton Show, Liam revealed things got dangerously physical with his siblings for a while there –likening his childhood to his famous movie franchise!

‘Our childhood rivalry was a bit vicious – a bit like The Hunger Games, actually,’ he divulged, adding: ‘We had a few incidents with weapons.’

He continues: ‘I never had any problems with Luke. But with Chris, we were very likeminded, very stubborn and would often get into arguments and, because I was so much younger and smaller, I had to use weapons to fight.

‘So one day, when I was about five, we had a fight in the kitchen about using the toaster or something and I picked up a kitchen knife and threw it at his head – and the handle hit him in the forehead.

‘I could have hit him with the other end if I’d wanted to. It was just a warning shot!’
