Foals have revealed that their new video for latest single 'Late Night' saw an actor take things a bit too far during an attempted suicide scene.
The dramatic 'Late Night' promo includes blood, sex and sweat as the band wanted to show how blood is the thing that connects everyone in life.
In one of the most graphic scenes, a man is seen attempting to hang himself with a belt, but guitarist Jimmy Smith admitted the actor was so dedicated to the role that he almost accidentally strangled himself.
Smith told NME: "In the suicide scene the guy actually hung himself by mistake, which was pretty bonkers. We were watching it on the screens next door and it was really realistic, we thought he was doing an amazing job acting.
"Then he started clawing at the belt and went all limp. Nabil had his head in his hands and we all thought we had killed a Romanian dude."

The video was shot in a dingy Romanian hotel and was directed by US director Nabil who has worked with the likes of Kanye West and Frank Ocean.
Foals drummer, Jack Bevan revealed that the band weren't even sure if the graphic sex scenes were being acting or actually happening.
Bevan told NME: "There's sex. Possibly actual sex, nobody really knows. At first it wasn't, but who knows by the end?
"That was happening in the room next to us so we were about 10 feet away watching a couple who had never met one another sort of maybe having actual sex."
Foals ended their UK tour in Portsmouth last night (March 13) but will be playing two shows in one day at London's Royal Albert Hall on March 28 which will include an all-ages matinee show.
