Fight of the Conchords: Jemaine cracks

It happens to all the big stars eventually - the paparazzi become too much.

And that seemed to be the case for Flight of the Conchords star Jemaine Clement when confronted with cameras in New York this week.

The grumpy-looking Kiwi let loose with a frustrated swipe of a water bottle, leaving the photographer sprayed with water.

But it didn't end there.

One fan took exception and hurled a hot chocolate back at Clement, dousing his duffel coat in a gloopy mess.

Clement's appeal to fans and photographers continues in the United States with his latest project alongside mega-stars Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones in Men in Black III, which sees Clement's character travelling back in time to kill Agent K, played by Jones.
