? Movie star Bruce Willis is reportedly suing a paparazzi photographer who accused the actor of attacking him outside a Los Angeles restaurant last week.
Photographer Anthony Goodrich alleges that Willis shoved him, pushing his camera into his face, causing injury to his nose and teeth outside the restuarant on 13 June, according to BBC News.
Willis? lawyer reportedly said that the actor merely ?put his hand up in front of his face to shield his eyes from the blinding flash of the cameras?.
Willis is understood to be seeking more than £1/2m in damages for defamation of character after Goodrich apparently made comments about the incident on the internet.
