'That was a real mission getting it taken out, because it's not like you can go to some dentist… and go in there, like, ''Hey, I wanna get this tooth taken out.'' he told talk show host Jimmy Kimmel. 'They're like, ''You wanna do what? That doesn't make any medical sense at all''

The actor also shared his admiration for co-star Brad, by adding: 'It's Brad Pitt, he's a hero. Being around him... we called him 'Top' the whole time, because he was 'Top Dog.'

Fury will receive its first UK screening during the BFI London Film Festival on October 20.
