Zombies: 1, Woody Harrelson: 0

Sometimes, news is so crazy you just can’t make this stuff up.

Woody Harrelson released a press statement today explaining his dust-up with a photographer from TMZ in a New York airport Wednesday night. His reasoning?

He apparently thought the cameraman was a zombie. Seriously, no joke. According to CNN:

“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.

Um…. right. At least we can all be thankful that he didn’t aim for the head, right?

    Am I the only one who thinks these vultures have it coming?

  2. Shaun Says:

    As out there as Woody can be (actually, I like the guy) I don’t think he was serious.

    And yeah, those vultures have it coming. I really never sympathize with the paparazzi. Especially when they’re hounding celebs who are with their children.

    Woody Harrelson is about the only person in Hollywood who I would actually accept that as a valid explanation.

    It’s all that raw food and weed. His brain meat consistency of chicken fried steak. lol

  5. Jan Says:

    These photographers should just mind their own business and leave people alone. Then they wouldn’t have any problems at all.

  6. Corey Henson Says:

    Yeah, I’m not sure what’s so hard to believe about this. Everyone knows Woody only smokes the good stuff.

  7. RussBurlingame Says:

    I think this defense is in itself so awesome that the whole matter should be dropped.

    My favorite story from this past weekend. The TMZ guys are a bit like zombies, no?
