Diane Kruger says she 'almost hit' paparazzi who were following her and her 3-year-old daughter

• Diane Kruger told The Sunday Times that the paparazzi who follow her are driving her "nuts."
• Kruger said she is especially annoyed when she is with her daughter and they take pictures.

Diane Kruger recently told The Sunday Times that she has yelled and "almost hit" paparazzi who take pictures of her when she's out with her 3-year-old daughter.

"I fucking hate it and it's driving me nuts," she said. "When I'm with my kid and they take pictures of her I've almost hit a few of them. If I see them and they're brave enough to not walk away, 100 percent I'm that crazy lady who yells across the street."

Kruger gave birth to her daughter, whom she parents with fiancé Norman Reedus, in 2018 but has kept a lot of details about her child private, including her name. The two actors have been dating since 2017 and got engaged last August, according to People magazine. While this is Kruger's first child, Reedus is also a father to his 22-year-old son, Mingus, with his ex-wife, Helena Christensen.

The actress is not the first celebrity parent to complain about the media's invasive nature when it comes to photographing children. Hilary Duff and Blake Lively have publicly complained about the issue and Elizabeth Hurley told The Sunday Times last year that her son once threatened to hit the paparazzi with an umbrella.

During the interview, Kruger also said having a child has shifted her relationship with her mother, Maria-Theresa, who at 13 left the actress' father, who was abusing alcohol.

"I can see how she tried and did her best, you know," Kruger said. "All the things that you reproach your parents for when you grow up, they fall away because you understand finally what it takes."
