Argentine journalist Alexis Puig took to Twitter to complain about actress Anne Hathaway refusing to shake his hand during the recent "Interstellar" press junket.

Puig tweeted, "Anne Hathaway no me dio la mano 'por miedo al ebola' #soyunperiodistadeltercermundo." The said post translates to" Anne Hathaway didn't shake my hand because she was she was afraid of ebola #I'mAThirdWorldJournalist."

The Oscar winner's refusal to shake the reporter's hand certainly just furthers the list of why the actress' haters continue to dislike her.

Puig was said to have flown to Los Angeles to attend a screening of Hathaway's new movie.

During the press junket, the movie's A-listers his hand and gave him a hug - that is, except Hathaway who feared she might catch Ebola if she made contact with him.

Other cast members present in the press junket included Jessica Chastain, Christopher Nolan and Matthew MacConaughey.

In a follow-up tweet, Puig posted the experience with the other stars of the movie, writing, "Christopher Nolan, Matthew McConaughey y Jessica Chastain estuvieron geniales en las entrevistas (y ninguno me nego la mano) Toma Anne!"

The said tweet translates to "Christopher Nolan, Matthew McConaughey and Jessica Chastain were genial in the interviews (and none of them denied me their hands). Take that, Anne!"

Unlike the United States, no Ebola cases have been reported in Argentina so far.

Upon returning to his country, Puig, obviously still affected by Hathaway's apparent rudeness, took to Twitter once again to take jabs at the actress.

He wrote, "Gracias a todos por sus comentarios. Por suerte ya estoy en Buenos Aires, Argentina (ciudad y país libre de Ebola) ...y por casa Anne?"

The said statement in English translates to "Thank you to everyone for your comments. Luckily I'm already in Buenos Aires, Argentina (city and country free of Ebola)...and at home Anne?"
