Hollywood star Josh Hartnett is suing the Daily Mirror for alleging he had a ‘sexual dalliance’in the library of a London Hotel, reports the BBC.

The Pearl Harbour star has rubbished claims by the Mirror that he was caught on CCTV taking part in sexual activity in the Soho hotel, and that staff had seen the incident and given him a verbal warning.

Hartnett, who is about to start a run in a West End production of Rain Main, plans to seek damages for defamation and a public apology. His legal team said the allegations were ‘a complete fabrication’and ‘defamatory and unsubstantiated.”
