But the story about the shooting during an interview appears to be true.
Clipping
[3 February 2006] German director Werner Herzog was shot by a crazed fan during a recent interview with the BBC. The 63-year-old was chatting with movie journalist Mark Kermode about his new film, the documentary Grizzly Man, when a sniper opened fire with an air rifle. "Herzog, as if it was the most normal thing in the world, said, 'Oh, someone is shooting at us. We must go.'...He just carried on with the interview while bleeding quietly in his boxer shorts." An unrepentant Herzog insisted, "It was not a significant bullet. I am not afraid."
