Actor Woody Harrelson is likening a paparazzo he tussled with at a New York airport to one of the undead zombies he battled in his most recent film.
In a statement, Harrelson jokingly compares the scrutiny of the paparazzi to his being "constantly under assault by zombies" in his upcoming film "Zombieland."
Celebrity gossip site TMZ posted a video on Thursday of Harrelson chasing one of their photographers who followed the actor and his 12-year-old daughter through New York's LaGuardia Airport.
TMZ said Harrelson broke the photographer's main camera, and the paparazzo is heard repeatedly accusing Harrelson of assault -- while he continued to follow the actor.
Harrelson says he was "still very much in character" when he was met by the photographer, who, he adds, he mistook for a zombie.
