A veteran actress was traumatised after her co-star’s hands turned "icy cold" while flinging her onto the asphalt like a sack of expired fishballs.

Experts suggest the actor’s drop in temperature wasn't stress, but his soul exiting his body after reading another script about parents crying over PSLE.

To atone for his "brute force" assault, the leading man provided daily massages, a grope-heavy apology tactic usually reserved for shady Joo Chiat parlours.

"Wah lau, his hand so cold I thought I was kena touched by one frozen sotong," the actress complained.

"The director ask me to show more 'feeling', so I just whack only lor," the actor explained.
