Eminem and Rihanna's new video for Love The Way You Lie has finally premiered on MTV US.

 

The promo stars Megan Fox and Lost actor Dominic Monaghan as a couple whose relationship turns violent in the dramatic clip, directed by Joseph Kahn.

As Fox and Dominic battle it out, Em is seen rapping the abusive lyrics in a corn field as Rihanna sings her chorus in front of a burning house.

The Not Afraid rapper then joins RiRi in front of the building, before the promo shows Megan and Monaghan engulfed in flames as well as Em himself also being set alight.

Monaghan recently told our US team about the concept of the video, explaining: "The concept of Love the Way You Lie was essentially a look at the relationship that Eminem was in with his wife, Kim, so I kind of felt like I was playing Eminem a little bit, and Megan Fox was kind of playing Kim."

"It's the story of them getting to know each other, and it's the story of their tumultuous relationship, and it was the story of the breakdown of their relationship,"

 

He added: "Ultimately, what I think he's trying to say in the song ... is that he should have walked away a little bit quicker than he did and not let it get as messy as it did."

Em himself also claimed that he wanted the video to be 'super-powerful' when dealing with the tough subject - something that was close to Rihanna's heart after falling victim to domestic violence at the hands of ex-boyfriend Chris Brown.
