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

I'm a photographer, but these *******s push our rights too far. We shouldn't be allowed to harass anybody like they do, and then be able to sue when we push them to their breaking point

"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.

Awesome for woody! Man if I was rich and famous I would just pay like 20 of my friends to walk around me all day, like in a circle so no photographers or whoever could bother me or my family.Then have them follow the photographers after we are out of view and beat the **** out of them in some alley.

Have you guys seen the video? The photographer was actually respectful of Woody's space and wasn't being a stereotypical paparazzi. Woody was completely out of line -- he even chased the guy down. It's pathetic what he did.

After years and years of dealing with that ****, you would break too man. The one guy might have got the raw end of the deal, but when you have to live your life like some of those celebrities do, I don't blame them.

I would go ****ing nuts if I had people swarming around me all the time while I went along with my daily routine.

For the amount of money that actors make it would be hard for A LOT of things to annoy me.

Money is one thing man, but not being able to go out and DO anything with that money without 15-20 people with big *** cameras yelling stupid **** at you, DELIBERATELY trying to **** you off/get a reaction like that... no thanks.

Lol - it's Woody. White Man Can't Jump. He's not the Octo-mom or Lindsey Lohan - he can do plenty of stuff without anyone giving 2 ****s.

In fact, most celebrities are able to live their lives without much intrusion - it's all about how you react to it and how you handle yourself in the public eye.

And really - celebrity status has its ups and downs and having most of your public life made into 'news' is one of those things that just comes with the territory.

No matter how much money you make in a legitimate fashion, you don't deserve harassment from the media. Now if you screw people over in some scandal, then thats different.
