Celebrity couple, Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones had just had their dinner celebration and they were all smiles as they were exiting their car when Catherine complained that she was punched by one of the paparazzis scampered outside their London Hotel.

'How dare you touch me! I want a police officer right now. He punched me! He punched me in my face,' Catherine was reportedly screaming as she made way through the hotel door.

Catherine then pointed through the door, said MSN news and shouted as she singled out a photographer from the throngs of paparazzis.

She said: 'That guy who was right here he punched me”

Having heard his wife’s screaming, Michael then walked outside the hotel and grabbed the photographer and he reportedly said: 'It was you a*shole, get the f**k out of here you b*****d.'

The photographer denied the accusation and defended himself from the Wall Street actor saying: 'It was not me".

The heated argument and the whole incident was captured in a video and had made its way to Entertainment Tonight. A representative of Michael Douglas pointed that their trip in London was great if not for the unfortunate incident.

“You saw it for yourself. Otherwise, the trip and the ceremony were fabulous and such a joy for everyone,” Michael's representative, Allen Burry was quoted as saying by the MSN News.

Michael and Catherine are joined by their children Dylan, 10, and seven-year-old Carys looked on proudly in their trip to London late last week. The family flew from the States to support Catherine as she was honored by Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) by Prince Charles.

The Entrapment star was presented the award at the Buckingham Palace by the future king for her services and contribution to the film industry and for her various charity initiatives.
