High-profile US lawyer Alan Dershowitz has accused Curb Your Enthusiasm star Larry David of shouting at him at a supermarket in an argument over politics.

Harvard Law School professor Mr Dershowitz, 82, represented Donald Trump in his first impeachment hearing.

He told Page Six he bumped into David, who he considered a friend, at a shop on the exclusive Massachusetts island of Martha’s Vineyard, where Barack Obama owns a home.

The outlet reported a witness spotted the pair having a blazing row when David, 74, walked away from Mr Dershowitz after he tried to greet him.

‘We can still talk, Larry,’ the publication states the lawyer told the actor.

Mr Dershowitz, who describes himself as a Democrat, confirmed the exchange and told Page Six he had been friends with the Seinfeld co-creator for many years before he started working with Mr Trump.

He claimed David ‘screamed’ and ‘yelled’ at him and appeared so worked up ‘I was worried that he was going to have a stroke’.

Mr Dershowitz defended his work with Mr Trump and his former secretary of state Mike Pompeo, saying they had achieved important goals in the Middle East.

‘While he [David] was writing bad jokes, I was helping to bring about peace in the Middle East,’ he said. ‘What has he done?

‘Larry is a knee-jerk radical. He takes his politics from Hollywood. He doesn’t read a lot. He doesn’t think a lot.’

Mr Dershowitz added: ‘It’s typical of what happens now on the Vineyard. People won’t talk to each other if they don’t agree with their politics.’

The claims come just days after David celebrated being disinvited to Barack Obama’s 60th birthday party.

The comedian was meant set to be one of the many guests coming together to help the former U.S. president celebrate his milestone age.

However, Obama was forced to cut the guest list from 700 to 200 due to the surge of the Delta variant amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
