Cera attacked by avocado-wielding tramp

Michael Cera has revealed that he was attacked by a tramp with an avocado while filming his latest movie Nick And Norah's Infinite Playlist.

The Superbad and Juno star told Parade that shooting on location in New York at night presented several problems for the film crew.

He said: "Sometimes on Fridays or Saturdays if we were shooting at 2am and bars were letting out we'd get the spillover of drunk people.

"You can't legally ask them not be in the shot. People can be wherever they want. And drunks can be pretty obnoxious sometimes and were screaming and running through the shots.

"We even had things thrown at us. An avocado was thrown at us by a homeless guy. He was really mad that we were in his space. He threw an unripe avocado and hit the soundman. Maybe if it was ripe he would have eaten it instead."
