Hugh Grant hurled a tub of baked beans at a photographer yesterday (24.04.07).
The actor was walking near his West London home at 10am and lashed out when a photographer asked if he could take his picture.
The star allegedly kicked him three times and kneed him near the groin.
Photographer Ian Whittaker, 43, said: "It looked like he had been out for a morning jog. I asked him if he would give me a smile because he was standing with his head down. But he must have been having a bad day because he started chasing me down the street.
"He gave me a couple of kicks in the legs and I think he kneed me."
Whittaker described how the 'Music and Lyrics' star then picked up a takeaway container full of beans and threw it at him.
The photographer also claimed 46-year-old Hugh - who recently split from his girlfriend Jemima Khan - launched into a tirade of abuse aimed at his children.
Being celebrity isn't easy. Photographer too.
