Hollywood star Hugh Grant has run into trouble with paparazzi yet again. According to a video posted on the celeb website TMZ.com, the 48-year-old star is seen kicking a photographer below the waist, in the groin.
Grant was leaving a hotspot in New York when he was followed by a group of paparazzi. When they followed him in spite of his warnings, Grant kicked a photographer.
This is not the first time for Grant. A few years ago he was also accused of throwing baked beans at a London photographer.

Hugh is STILL considered a ‘Hollywood Star?’ LOL!
Given the choice, I’ll take the baked beans, please.
On the one hand, Hugh Grant is a jackass.
On the other, I’m not sure I can blame him.
Good for him! Those photogs are like vultures. Who gives a rats a$$ what celebs are doing in their off time anyway? I don’t care to see photos of them dining out, grocery shopping, walking down the street, etc.

Hugh Grant is ‘angry thug’, claim paparazzi
Grant has never really given a damn what anyone thinks. I know he’s not perfect (ahem), but I like him.
Hugh heard that the paparazzi guy wanted to be a farmer.So he gave him his first two acres.
Hooray for Hugh Grant and his kick!

Oh, you naughty, naughty Hugh. That poor paparazzi.
By the way, what was the lensman doing so close that he could get kicked in the groin?
Don’t blame Grant for this.
Must not have been a very good kick, The guy kept on walking and filming.

“¡¡¡GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!”
You just *wait* for stories like this, don’tcha.
< |:)~
Why would he kick a paparazzi lesbian in the groin??
Hugh’s 48??!...hmmm
If the photographer was close enough to get kicked....well...good for Grant. :)
Clearly, Hugh has trained recently with Steven Seagal.
Cheers to Mr. Grant. These vultures need a dressing down once and a while. They are awful pests and need to be stopped or punished for their unruly behavior.
He’s acting like he’s still famous or something.

This is like watching a fight between a member of code pinko and an acorn member — you have to root for both to lose.
It is, OTOH, a grab-me-some-popcorn event :)
Perfect!
He’s a celebrity because of the times he chooses to be on camera. The stupid papparazzi need to realize that there are times when celebrities choose NOT to be on camera. One warning should be sufficient, then a nut-kicking is fair game.
Not guilty, Hugh!
Good pint, I mean, point. In any case it wasn’t enough of a punt to take down the runt.
Kick to win!
These idiots crave the fame and adulation and fortune that Hollywood stardom brings and suddenly they decide that they want to be famous and adored but left alone.
