Ryan Reynolds gave Denzel Washington a black eye.

But don’t worry: They’re still friends.

The mishap occurred while the two stars were filming Safe House, which Reynolds visited the “Today Show” to promote on Tuesday.

“I look at moviemaking – it’s like prison,” joked the actor. “You’ve just got to hit the biggest guy on the first day as hard as you can… just make a statement for that crew.”

In reality, Reynolds and Washington’s heads collided during a car chase scene.

“He gave me a look like, ‘You can’t believe you just gave Denzel Washington a black eye,’” recalled Reynolds.
