Stop Touching Me Woody Harrelson



In what has to be one of the funniest videos of all time, Woody Harrelson attacks a paparazzi photographer throughout an airport for about four minutes straight and absolutely no one else gets involved or is able to video tape it. The story gets even better because after the incident, Woody blames the attack on the fact that he thought the photographer was a zombie.


Harrelson claims that he just got finished shooting a film about him running away from zombies and he thought the man video taping him was one. Come on. In all sincerity, if Harrelson wasn't a celebrity, he would probably be charged with a crime right now. On videotape he's seen taking the camera and smashing it. At the very least that's theft and destruction of property.

But have no worries Woody fans, he'll walk. Just you don't try to use that same excuse for getting out of jail free, "You see, the reason why I walked into that bank and told them to give me all the money in the register is because me and my friend Larry are playing bank robbers in our Improv class and I was just still in my character at the time, so you see you have to let me go..... You bought it when Woody Harrelson said it!(screaming as being led away in handcuffs)

CNN reports:

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.

"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.

TMZ.com posted two videos of the incident, including one recorded by the larger camera before it was damaged.

After Harrelson returns the camera to him, a scuffle appears to ensue.

"Woody, this is assault. Woody, this is assault," the photographer is heard saying. "Woody, chill out. Would you please chill out?"

The photographer continues to follow Harrelson for another four minutes as the actor and his daughter walk to the airport parking lot. At one point, Harrelson again turns toward the cameraman.

"I'm being chased by Woody Harrelson while I'm talking to you," the photographer says as he talks to an unidentified person on a cell phone.

Harrelson, his daughter and a driver get inside an SUV and the encounter ends.

In the movie "Zombieland," Harrelson plays "the most frightened person on Earth" looking for refuge from zombies, according to the Internet Movie Database

"Woody Harrelson has a history of anger management issues with people and we intend to put a stop to this," Cyrus Nownejad, Levine's lawyer, said Friday.



Here is the video, it's a little bit of a killjoy because the guy Woody is assaulting is the only guy at the airport with a video camera. How come when a kitten is stuck up in a tree everyone in the world has a video camera but when a washed up celebrity is beating up a photographer in public the only one that has the capacity to film it is the guy getting his ass kicked.

Maybe Woody thought it was Welsey Snipes giving him a good bye kiss before being hauled to jail
