Players aren’t the only ones guilty of diving. Check out this method actor referee (above video) who dramatically stumbles to his demise after being grazed by … a piece of cardboard.

Somewhere in the heavens Heath Ledger is applauding the performance.

Unless the cardboard was hurled from the stands by Hancock himself we’re not buying it, sir. The player’s reaction at the end of the video kind of says it all.

I mean, we’ve seen soccer players flail to the ground at the sound of raindrops, so when a professional flopper questions your credibility you’ve probably gone too far.
