“I wrapped a movie called ‘Zombieland,’ in which I was constantly under assault by zombies, then flew to New York, still very much in character. With my daughter at the airport, I was startled by a paparazzo, who I quite understandably mistook for a zombie.”
The actor later shared during an interview with EW via Page Six that after the incident he felt the need to have a good line to explain his action, which was when he turned toward The Beatles singer;
“I went to my favorite restaurant in New York and Paul McCartney was there. [McCartney] was like, ‘Just say you mistook him for a zombie.’ I had the press release written before I went to bed.”
The actor was with his daughter at the time of the incident and had mentioned in 2012 during an interview at The Howard Stern Show that it was Paul McCartney who had taught him how to sail. Woody noted that McCartney and his wife are really cool people to hang out with.
