DAVID THEWLIS - THEWLIS' ANGER AT PAPARAZZI

THEWLIS' ANGER AT PAPARAZZI

Actor DAVID THEWLIS once threatened to attack a photographer - for trying to film up his girlfriend ANNA FRIEL's skirt while she was pregnant.
The Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban star hates it when the paparazzi try to get unflattering pictures of his partner, Pushing Daisies actress Friel.
And he once confronted a snapper who deliberately tried to get an embarrassing shot - when Friel was expecting their first child.
He says, "It's sometimes annoying when a cameraman tries to put a camera up her skirt.
"The only time I've got close to hitting a cameraman is when one tried to put a camera up her skirt when she was pregnant - that's sexual assault.
"I said 'What the f**k are you doing?' I could have understood if she was wearing a mini skirt but to put a camera below a knee-length skirt with a pregnant woman...That's weird. It's illegal I'm sure."
The couple's daughter, Gracie Ellen Mary Friel, was born in 2005.
