Ed Westwick has been accused of shouting at a fellow diner in a New York restaurant.

According to the New York Daily News, the Gossip Girl star was eating at Los Feliz when he became angry at a man taking photographs.

The man, who claims he was just taking pictures of the people at his table, said: “Ed came over and was like, ‘Stop taking my picture!’

“He started shouting obscenities at me and getting in my face. He was all bitter and s**t. I thought it was a joke.”

The photographer, who also insisted that he didn’t know who Westwick was, alleged that the actor walked away “in a cloud of disgust”.

He continued: “I went over to him and asked him who he thought he was, and he dissolved into a fit of rage.”

The diner explained that the manager then approached him and told him to leave the restaurant, adding: “Ed was snickering in the corner, because the people he was with had told the staff that I was paparazzi. So I paid my bill and I left.”

A representative for Westwick confirmed that the actor had eaten at the restaurant but insisted: “There was no altercation.”
