Woody Harrelson claims he mistook photographer for zombie

(CNN) -- Woody Harrelson defended his clash with a photographer at a New York airport Wednesday night as a case of mistaken identity -- he says he mistook the cameraman for a zombie.


Woody Harrelson says he got into a clash with a photographer because he mistook him for a zombie.

The TMZ photographer filed a complaint with police claiming the actor damaged his camera and pushed him in the face at La Guardia Airport, according to an airport spokesman.

"We're looking into this allegation and if it's warranted, we'll turn it over to the proper authorities," said Port Authority of New York and New Jersey spokesman Ron Marsico.

The photographer, who was not identified, captured the encounter on a small camera after his larger one was broken.

Harrelson, who is being sued by another TMZ photographer for an alleged assault in 2006, did not deny his involvement.

"I wrapped a movie called 'Zombieland,' in which I was constantly under assault by zombies, then flew to New York, still very much in character," Harrelson said in a statement issued Friday by his publicist.

"With my daughter at the airport I was startled by a paparazzo, who I quite understandably mistook for a zombie," he said.






Im a zombie fan and this made me giggle. There is more info on it here http://www.cnn.com/2009/SHOWBIZ/Movies/04/10/woody.harrelson.zombie/index.html

I guess this probably could have been in the spam section....

either way lets discuss this.

I totally would attack someone if thought they were zombie and they were following me.

Quite understandable!

Best celebrity gossip ever


Possibly better than Jauqin Phoenix thinking a lizard was eating his brain

i read this the other day and thought it was the greatest fucking thing ever.

hahah, fucking awesome.

I like Woody Harrelson.. I hate zombies and paparazzo... Seriously, if your job is to take pictures and ask questions to famous people and in turn make a buck off of their accomplishments, go kill yourself. Even worse is the people who actually read all that bullshit...

I mistake a lot of people for zombies.
