Simon Pegg's police trouble
Feb 24, 2007, 12:00 GMT
Simon Pegg got in trouble with the police while making his new film.
The 'Shaun of the Dead' actor, who plays a policeman in 'Hot Fuzz', was mildly reprimanded by cops for using his mobile phone while driving.
He says: "During filming, I was stupidly driving while on my mobile phone and a policeman honked his horn at me.
"There was no police brutality. I was
ed off with myself because I'd been playing this super cop and there I was, in trouble for a tiny misdemeanour."Pegg's co-star Nick Frost, who also plays a police officer in the film, has also been in trouble with the police.
Frost revealed: "The police raided my house for possession of an assault rifle. It was while we were making the TV show 'Spaced' and my character, Ed, loved guns - so I took one home to learn how to dismantle it. They found out and cam round."
In 'Hot Fuzz' Pegg plays Nicholas Angel, a top city cop sent to the sleepy English countryside by his jealous colleagues.

I thought the movie Hot Fuzz was hilarious! Simon Pegg is a brilliant writer and just a great actor all arond. I've only been lucky to see him in a few of his films and would love to see him in many more. I'm glad to see he's getting the recognition he deserves. I have loads of nieces and nephews and every single one of them loves him!!
May the Force be w/ you, Simon!!!!
