(CNN) -- 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.
-----------------------

"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.

Like, WTF Woody??

QM

Is he serious?

Skoob.

It's like Michael Caine attacking black people because he was in Zulu.

Yes, he's a serious man in serious trouble, Skoob.

Yes, it's all quite understandable.

The papparatzo are a notoriously pale and pasty bunch with questionable hygine. They also tend to mob around the unfortunate celebrity and cry, "brains, brains!"

It should also be noted that Woody does indulge in 'shrooms and reefer more than he should too. So yes, it's all quite understandable.

PS: tongue firmly in cheek here!
