Singer Justin Timberlake’s bodyguard has been arrested after allegedly assaulting a member of the paparazzi outside a London restaurant.
Timberlake, was joining his film co-star Mila Kunis for dinner Tuesday night, when a smartly-dressed man, believed to be his security assistant, was seen punching a photographer and knocking him to the floor.
When police were called to the scene they were unable to locate the individual in question, but a man was later arrested at a local hotel, where Justin was staying.
A spokesperson for Scotland Yard said: “Police were called to Berkeley Square at approximately 9.45 last night. A man alleged he was assaulted. He suffered minor injuries. He did not require hospital treatment. Officers later arrested a 45-year-old man at a central London hotel on suspicion of common assault. He is being held at a central London police station. Enquiries are on-going.”
Despite rumors that Justin and Mila are secretly dating, Timberlake, 30, admitted their raunchy sex scenes in ‘Friends with Benefits’ were “awkward”.
According to Justin: “You sure didn’t have to worry about being sexy. It’s more awkward to shoot a naked scene where you’re not going for laughs, those are more awkward to shoot. When your goal is to try to garner laughter, you just go for it. I think it’s pretty obvious that I’m shameless, I’ll put my body on the line for comedy, that’s what I do. My butt is hilarious.”
