<p>Anna Faris has received an apology from New Zealand&#8217;s state tourism agency for attacking her credibility after the American actress described New Zealand men as vulgar.</p>
<p>Anna recently told US talk show host George Lopez that New Zealand men had yelled obscenities at her while she was in the country filming the movie Yogi Bear.</p>
<p>She said she was walking home from the movie set when separate carloads of men shouted profanities at her.</p>
<p>Tourism New Zealand spokesman Ian Long was quoted by the New Zealand Herald on Sunday as saying: &#8220;In the same segment, she accepts an award for being a pothead stoner of the year &#8230; I don&#8217;t think she has any credibility.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Scary Movie star was appearing on the chat show Lopez Tonight to promote Yogi Bear when she revealed she had recently won a Stony, a jocular award sponsored by High Times magazine, for her portrayal of a pot user.</p>
<p>In a statement, the tourism agency apologised for any offence its remarks had caused.</p>
<p>&#8220;The inference that Tourism NZ did not take Ms Faris&#8217; comments seriously is very much regretted and was certainly not intended,&#8221; Tourism New Zealand said.</p>
<p>&#8220;On a US talk show Ms Faris spoke about disrespectful behaviour she experienced during her stay in New Zealand and as a consequence her impression of New Zealand men is, to say the least, poor.&#8221;</p>
<p>The agency said it would offer Anna some &#8220;great Kiwi hospitality&#8221; to make up for its comments and the vulgar behaviour she experienced.</p>
