Actor pals MATTHEW RHYS and IOAN GRUFFUDD were mugged by a pregnant woman after a drunken night out in their native Wales.
Rhys passed out while celebrating Fantastic Four star Gruffudd's birthday at their favourite pub and a desperate mum-to-be took

advantage of the drunk duo as they made their way home.
The Brothers & Sisters star has no recollection of the incident, but was told all about the odd encounter the following morning when he woke to find his wallet and keys missing.
Rhys says, "I was unable to stand at the time and he's trying to hold me upright... He's got my arm around his shoulders and he's walking me to the house... at which point a lady approached him, who is with child, and said, 'Hand over your money.' "She reached in, grabbed my wallet and my money and pulled it out and there was this split second, a stand off... and then she took off. And he's standing there going, 'Do I drop him and chase her or do I let the matter go?'" Gruffudd had some explaining to do the following morning when his pal woke to find his belongings missing.
Rhys adds, "He came in and said, 'We were mugged last night by a pregnant woman...' He told the story and I said, 'And you chased after her?' and he went, 'Well, no, I didn't wanna drop you...' Some friend... I said, 'I'd have dropped you in a heartbeat'."
