New Zealand filmmaker Lee Tamahori, who directed Once Were Warriors and the James Bond movie Die Another Day, has been arrested in a Hollywood prostitution sting while dressed in drag. According to a criminal complaint filed in Los Angeles, Tamahori, 55, was arrested on 8 January when he allegedly sought to be paid for sex with an undercover policeman, while clad in women's clothes. Prosecutors confirmed they have filed two misdemeanour charges against the Hollywood filmmaker: agreeing to engage in an act of prostitution and unlawfully loitering on Hollywood's Santa Monica Boulevard.
