Sutherland's legal trouble jeopardised 'Twelve' role

Kiefer Sutherland's recent clash with a fashion designer almost cost him his role in Joel Schumacher's new movie 'Twelve' - because the director was furious about the negative press following the alleged headbutting incident.

The '24' star was accused of attacking Jack McCollough for no reason, leaving him with a broken nose, at a Met Gala afterparty in New York on May 5; Sutherland maintained he accosted the designer after he barged past pal Brooke Shields.
