Fair warning: If you happen to pay a visit to Paul Bettany's countryside home, you'd better prepare yourself for a prank or two.

Appearing on The Late Show alongside his A Very British Scandal co-star Claire Foy, Bettany explained to Colbert how he pinched a bust of his WandaVision character from the set in order to trick unsuspecting house guests.

"They made a bust of me in order that they could light scenes while I wasn't there," says Bettany in the clip above. "And I stole it so I could take it to my country house and hide it when people came over to stay — hide it in their toilets."

Oh, Paul.
