Miles Teller's Divergent Co-Star Jai Courtney Wanted To Punch Him When They First Met

Miles Teller and girlfriend Keleigh Sperry head out to dinner at Craig’s Restaurant in West Hollywood, Calif., on Friday night (October 17).

The 27-year-old actor was under fire recently for comments he made about his role in Divergent.

Co-star Jai Courtney chatted with Elle about what Miles said and his reaction to it.

“That’s brilliant. Listen, I can relate to what he’s saying. I also know Miles very well. He’s a very good friend of mine. He’s an interesting brand, you know? It’s like, I wanted to legitimately punch him for a couple of weeks when I first met him. He’s not there to make sure you understand his brand of comedy. It’s like you either get it or you don’t. And if you don’t, you think he’s a dick. And he’s not!” he shared.

Jai continued, “At all. But it’s a very specific tone that he kind of operates under. But getting back to what he said, I didn’t see his comments, but I understand. I think there is a strategy to all of us who have experiences taking on the small parts because of the exposure you get off something like that. I mean, money comes into play, but it isn’t like any of us are making millions yet.”
