Bike-riding Clooney warns paparazzi

US actor George Clooney says paparazzi should respect the rules of the road.

The 46-year-old Hollywood star admonished photographers while riding his motorbike in Los Angeles on Friday with his girlfriend, Sarah Larson, Clooney spokesman Stan Rosenfield said today.

A video clip posted on TMZ.com shows Clooney pulling to the side of a street, then saying to photographers: “You can drive all you want, you can take my picture all you want, but what you cannot do is put people in danger.”

Clooney and Larson were injured in September when their motorcycle and a car collided on a road in New Jersey.

“There are no rules now,” Clooney said in an interview on the syndicated entertainment TV show Entertainment Tonight, comparing paparazzi to “bounty hunters”.
