Josh Hartnett sued the tabloids -- and won!
Hartnett, 30, has won $30,000 in libel damages from a British newspaper that claimed he engaged in "steamy shenanigans" in a public area of a London hotel, reports the Associated Press.
The tabloid Daily Mirror claimed in a September article that Hartnett and an unknown woman were caught on tape in the library of the Soho Hotel.
Let’s just say they weren’t said to be reading.
Lawyer Victoria Jolliffe for the newspaper's publisher acknowledged Thursday that the allegations were false. Jolliffe told London's High Court that the newspaper apologized for any "distress, hurt and embarrassment" it had caused.
The actor plans to donate the damages money to charity.
Hartnett is currently onstage in "Rain Man" in London.
