The Star Wars and Marvel star — who most recently appeared in Sony Pictures’ surprising box office blockbusterVenom 2, Venom: Let There Be Carnage — seems to have gotten into a fight with a fan.
The fight supposedly broke out on Wednesday night, with police reports obtained from “insiders” detailing how the man in question supposedly started a physical altercation, after engaging in a verbal altercation with the actor. Harrelson is noted in the report as having “punched the man in self-defense.” Further reports about the fight suggest the man may have been intoxicated at the time, and wouldn’t stop harassing Harrelson and his daughter by taking unsolicited photos of them.
At this time, additional details regarding the situation are unclear, although we do know the actor was onsite at the hotel filming HBO’s upcoming series The Watergate Plumbers about President Richard Nixon’s Watergate scandal in the 1970s.
In addition to his work in the Marvel “Spider-Verse”, Zombieland star Harrelson starred as Tobias Beckett in Disney’s version of Han Solo’s origin story, Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018).
Board the Millennium Falcon and journey to a galaxy far, far away in Solo: A Star Wars Story, an epic action-adventure with the most beloved scoundrel in the galaxy. Through a series of daring escapades within a dark and dangerous criminal underworld, Han Solo befriends his mighty future copilot Chewbacca and meets the notorious gambler Lando Calrissian, beginning a journey that will set the course of one of the Star Wars saga’s most unlikely heroes.
