Hugh Grant has been arrested after allegedly hurling a tub of baked beans at a photographer.

He also reportedly kicked Ian Whittaker, and, according to the photographer, said he wished his children would die of cancer. Grant's lawyers, however, have refuted that any such comments were made by the actor.

The arrest followed a clash with the freelance paparazzi photographer outside Grant’s Chelsea home on Tuesday morning. Mr Whittaker said he had turned up to take pictures of the actor’s former girlfriend Liz Hurley, who lives in the same street. When Grant arrived in his car he asked him to smile as he took his picture.
Hugh allegedly snapped, swearing at Mr Whittaker and reportedly kicking him three or four times. Then, as Grant entered his house, he allegedly turned and threw a plastic container of baked beans at him.
Why was he walking around with a container of beans ????
