A statement from his Los Angeles-based publicist, Stan Rosenfield, said the actor “did not get into a fight with a security guard”, but did “get into an argument with someone connected with the movie.

A spokeswoman for Meza said none of its security staff had a confrontation with Clooney, but said the actor had hired his own security for the screening.
