Washington, Oct 13 : Gerard Butler has hit out at rude paparazzi for disrupting the shoot of his film with Jennifer Aniston by constantly flashing and blocking the shots, forcing the crew to work overtime on reshoots and retakes.

The ‘Ugly Truth’ star said that earlier he was used to paparazzi coverage of location shoots, but when it came to working with the ‘Friends’ star in ‘The Bounty’, filming was almost impossible at points.

"Unfortunately for poor Jennifer, this roadshow comes out all the time, and then of course there were all the rumours about her and I dating, just because we''re doing a movie together, which brought out even more paparazzi,” Contactmusic quoted him as saying.

"They''ll take 10,000 photographs in one day and wait for that moment where you hug or look at each other in a certain way. Or more individually, there''ll be photos where you scratch your nose and there''s the suggestion of nose picking. You don''t realise it and then suddenly you make that one move and they got you.

"A lot of the paparazzi are really good people but some of them are a nightmare. They go out of their way to disrupt filming and it''s really sad because you''re there with a crew of 200 just trying to make a living. You''re there for 16 hours a day and you have these guys who don''t care if they''re standing in your shot.

"If you go over and you speak to them, they''re like, ''Don''t f**king touch me!'' So you''ve just got to sit there and wait. Or they''ll flash, so the film you just shot is useless. It''s unbelievable sometimes what they do and you''re thinking, ''This is allowed?'' That can be very frustrating,” he added. (ANI)
