During a discussion about Harrison Ford's stunts, Hurt revealed that his character is involved in a scrap with Indiana.
He told The Times: "Harrison Ford does all his own fights. And I should know, I was in one of them."
Realising what his comments suggested, Hurt added: "Or then again, was I involved in a fight with him? It’s possible that I just watched."
Hurt plays Professor Oxley, a colleague of Indiana who is involved in the hunt for a Mesoamerican crystal skull.
Talking about the secrecy surrounding the movie's script, the veteran actor said: "It turned out to be rather an expensive read. It had to be hand-delivered from Hollywood.
"A courier dropped it off at three and picked it up at eight. He was probably outside with an eye on the front door during that time.
"It’s cops and robbers stuff. And it’s all to make Mr. Lucas an extra billion, as if he needs it."
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is released on May 22.
