We're surprised Rihanna's Battleship costar Josh Pence doesn't appear as one of her whipping boys in her new video for "S&M."

You see, the Social Network actor tells me that he and the Barbadian beauty don't exactly have love scenes together in the upcoming action flick, but…

"I can't really say too much, but I might be sort of berating her," Pence told me at the SAG Awards, where he looked amazingly hot in Dior Homme. "That was kinda fun. It was more verbally. I've been waiting to that for so long."

He kids.

Battleship, based on the Hasbro board game and directed by Peter Berg, also stars Alexander Skarsgård (Pence did meet the True Blood stud but they didn't have any scenes together), Taylor Kitsch and Liam Neeson.

"Rihanna really came in and gave it her all," Pence said. "You have to respect the fact that she went in there and put a lot on the line. It's not easy to crossover. I think she brought it."
