Singer Boy George was left fuming on the red carpet of the Rome Film Festival after a reporter knocked off his hat.

The 50-year-old was there Oct 27 to attend the premiere of “The Lady", a film about pro-democracy activist Aung San Suu Kyi.

George made his way down to talk to a presenter from the satirical show “Le Iene”, who knocked a green hat off the singer's head.

The singer quickly put his headwear back on, before leaning over to chastise him, said a source.
